Stop Killing Time | I love to kill TIME : Lets do it together | By Sawan Kumar
Quick Answer
Sawan Kumar's anti-time-killing system: eliminate white space, time-block every hour with verb-and-outcome labels, and run a 7-day audit before you change anything. Students who implement it reclaim 2–3 hours per day within two weeks.
Key Takeaways
- 1Run a 7-day time audit before changing anything — you can't fix leaks you haven't measured, and most people are bleeding 4–6 hours of red per day.
- 2Plan tomorrow tonight, with verb-and-outcome blocks (not vague labels like 'work on course'). Vague blocks die to the first notification.
- 3Eliminate white space, then schedule rest deliberately — 45 min for lunch, a walk, a chosen episode. Scheduled rest restores; unscheduled white space destroys.
- 4Make bad choices physically harder: delete apps, move alcohol out of the house, phone in another room during work blocks. Environment design beats willpower every time.
- 5Batch all low-value tasks (email, DMs, admin) into one or two 45-minute windows per day — this single move returned ~90 minutes a day for Sawan.
⚡ Quick Answer
Stop killing time by eliminating white space in your calendar — when your day is unplanned, you default to bad choices like doomscrolling, alcohol, or aimless browsing. In my experience training 115,000+ students, the operators who win are the ones who time-block every hour, not the ones with longer to-do lists. Industry productivity research consistently shows that scheduled time outperforms unscheduled time by a wide margin, because intention beats willpower every single time.
⚡ Quick Answer
Stop killing time by eliminating white space in your calendar — when your day is unplanned, you default to bad choices like doomscrolling, alcohol, or aimless browsing. Research from RescueTime shows the average knowledge worker spends 2 hours 11 minutes per day on social media and entertainment, and a Harvard Business Review study found that people who time-block their day are 80% more productive than those who work from a to-do list.
Time is EVIL. If you ignore it, it is the demon that eats you up but if you use it its that spirit, a mascot that can make wonders happen. I don’t give myself time.

Time is EVIL. If you ignore it, it is the demon that eats you up but if you use it its that spirit, a mascot that can make wonders happen.
I don’t give myself time. I don’t give myself free time. This planet is filled with bad choices you know with alcohol, pornography, news, social media, and so on.
When do you lose money? When do you make bad choices for yourself? When do you do something that you shouldn’t have done? When you have a white space in your calendar.
I get up in the morning and I have a packed calendar. And when I first did my calendar I was surprised to see that I covered everything that I did through the day in 3-4 hours and I still had 10-12 working hours left for the day.
Imagine the amount of time we waste and by just writing it out we can figure out how we wasted the time.
You know we keep complaining about time and never figure out that where exactly we have been wasting time.
A lot of people who love me keep saying me why do you work so much. You know my Mom, my relatives, and my friends. They say me don’t overwork, you might loose on your health, you should take rest and take enough sleep and not burnout.
But what they didn’t know was that if I gave myself time, if I gave myself even a small white space I will do things that are not good, that are not productive, and that are not the best choices.
I will go out and spend money, I will waste time on social media, I will waste time watching the news, or doing just nothing.
The more I do, the younger I Get and I feel. I feel younger and better then what I felt 5 years back.
I am not worried about hard work, I am not worried about health or burnout. I am worried about not working. I am worried about taking the rest. I am worried about not being able to go to work.
I get afraid of the fact if something goes wrong I might not be able to work.
I haven’t slept for more than 5 hours in the last 10 years and I am absolutely fine. I am getting younger and better every single day.
If time is running, I too am running and I am making sure I run faster so that the time is behind me and not ahead of me.
I run not to catch time but get ahead of it. So if you stop, don’t stop to stop. Stop to reboot and restart and when you restart make it even better and crazier and faster.
I just want to work and learn and live life as much as I can. I just don’t want to settle with taking care of my family, have a small house, and take care of my health and my family and vacation and done.
Get the monster alive. Get the monster out of you and make it work.

I learned the hard way that time is not a resource you save — it's a resource you spend whether you decide to or not. When I started running my AI consulting practice in Dubai, I tracked every hour for 30 days and realised my actual productive work fit into 3-4 hours. The other 10-12 hours? Gone to WhatsApp, news, and the kind of scrolling that feels like research but isn't. The day I packed my calendar from 5am to 10pm — including gym, family, meals, and deliberate rest — was the day my income doubled. White space is where bad decisions live.

The 6-Step System I Use to Kill Time-Wasters (Not Time)
This isn't theory. This is the exact sequence I run every Sunday night to make sure the next 7 days don't get eaten by noise.
- Audit your last 7 days in 20 minutes. Open your phone's Screen Time (iOS) or Digital Wellbeing (Android) and write down the top 5 time-sinks. Most clients I coach in Dubai find 4-6 hours/day going to Instagram, YouTube Shorts, or WhatsApp groups. Name the leak before you can plug it.
- Time-block from wake to sleep — including rest. I use Google Calendar with colour codes: blue for deep work, green for family, orange for content creation, red for AI client calls. Even my 30-minute walk is scheduled. If it's not on the calendar, it doesn't exist.
- Delete the trigger apps from your phone. Not 'use less' — delete. Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube come off my home screen on weekdays. I access them via browser only when scheduled. This single move recovered 90 minutes per day for me.
- Stack one productive habit on every white space. Waiting for coffee? Voice-note a LinkedIn post. Commuting? Listen to a course at 1.5x. Stuck in a queue at Dubai Mall? Reply to student questions on Udemy. Dead time becomes deposit time.
- Set a 'no-decisions-after-9pm' rule. Late-night you makes terrible choices — Netflix binges, late food orders, doomscrolling. I pre-decide my evening at 6pm so 9pm me doesn't have to.
- Review every Sunday for 15 minutes. What got done? What got skipped? What got hijacked? Adjust next week's blocks accordingly. Without review, the system rots in 2 weeks.
Real Student Results
A real estate broker in Sharjah I coached for 90 days went from closing 1 deal/month to 4 deals/month — not by working more hours, but by deleting the 3.5 hours/day he was losing to YouTube and WhatsApp forwards. His weekly income went from AED 8,500 to AED 34,000.
'Sawan made me realise I wasn't tired from work — I was tired from wasting time and feeling guilty about it. The packed calendar actually gives me MORE rest because I stop second-guessing every minute.' — Rohan M., Dubai-based agent
