How Billionaires Save Time and Scale Faster

In this instructional video, the speaker explains how the world’s wealthiest individuals—Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos—minimize decision fatigue and scale their time by creating simple routines and delegating low‑value tasks. The talk breaks down concrete, quantifiable strategies that anyone can adopt: wearing a uniform (e.g., all‑black clothing) to eliminate daily wardrobe decisions, hiring a housekeeper to free up cleaning time, using meal‑prep services or batch cooking to avoid daily cooking, and employing an executive assistant (often outsourced) to handle meeting scheduling. For each habit the speaker calculates the minutes saved per day, translates them into hours, days, and even months saved over a year and a lifetime, and shows the cost‑benefit threshold (e.g., hiring help makes sense when your hourly value exceeds the wage you’d pay a helper). By aggregating these savings, the presenter argues that a typical person can reclaim roughly 50 days—or two extra months—of productive time each year, which can be redirected toward business growth, family, health, or personal passions. The overarching message is that control‑centric habits limit growth, whereas strategic delegation creates leverage, a principle that can be applied by entrepreneurs and professionals regardless of wealth.

Mark Zuckerberg wears the same T shirt every single day. Steve Jobs did too. Warren Buffett eats the same breakfast every single morning at McDonald's, depending on how the market is doing. And Jeff Bezos, he built Amazon to run decisions made by people who are not him. This isn't just about a style and routine or habits. It's about leverage. Because billionaires don't make more decisions than you. They make fewer. And that's the key. Every decision costs energy. Every time you choose what to wear, what to eat, what to prioritize, and what to respond to, you're using up a limited amount of daily resources, which is essentially your cognitive bandwidth. In this episode, we're breaking down how the wealthiest people in the world eliminate decisions, build decision systems, and scale their time without burning out so you can start doing the same. This is ubk. The best thing is that you do not need to be a billionaire to implement a lot of these strategies. You can start them actually tomorrow. I started doing these strategies when I was in my 20s and they have compounded tremendously. We've been able to build our company to over 100 team members. We've done over $100 million in revenue and capital raise. And we are here to break down some of the things that you can start trying today from these strategies above. Starting off with clothing. Over the last 10 years of my life, I have only one more color. Black. Every single video that I do is in black. But that's not because I'm in front of the camera and it's because that's how I dress every single day. Why do I do that? There are 365 days in a year, Excluding sick days. I will need to get dressed for 365 days in a year. And every day that you get dressed takes about 10 minutes. If you multiply 365 times 10, you get 3650 minutes, which equals about 60 hours, which is actually two and a half waking days, which is actually closer to five normal days. So you are spending five days of your life getting dressed every single year. When I'm getting dressed, prior to wearing black, I would have to think and I'd use these full 10 minutes and. And 10 minutes is pretty gracious. Some of you definitely probably spend more than 10 minutes getting dressed. But assume that everything in your wardrobe matched. You have the same shirts, the same pants, the same clothes. When you're packing, think about all of that flexibility of everything matching one another. It will cut that 10 minutes down to say, five minutes. And that's a pretty reasonable way to think about your savings every single day. So if you're taking 20 minutes, maybe it cuts it down to 10 minutes as an example. But the point is, is that at the end of the year, every single year, I'm going to save approximately 1.25 waking days. Or two and a half regular days in my life. Now, the average human lifespan is today is approximately 80 years. You know, being generous. So 80 years. And say that you are watching this video and you're 30 years old, let's just say 50 years left because you haven't been applying this model. You have 50 years and two and a half days that you're going to be saving for the next 50 years if you continue on with this, whatever style works for you. Now if we do that math, you, you are going to have 125 extra days. 125 extra days is over four months of your life that you're getting for free just by wearing clothes that is easy to match pack that you like. And this is why guys like Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs wear the same thing every single day. It cuts out the decisions. And if you actually mathematically think about this and you are literally going to save anywhere from three to six months across your lifetime for doing something that you're going to do anyways. So the next one is our house. And there's really two big unlocks here. The first is you have to think about what your time is worth. For me, I have always been a big fan of having a housekeeper. I like to have a clean house, but I do not like to clean things. So what do I do? I get a housekeeper. A housekeeper does cost money, and that is a cost that you will need to undertake. But if the average hourly rate for a housekeeper is say $20 and they are at your house twice a week for 10 hours, that's $200 a week or $800 a month. Psychologically, a clean house is going to make you feel better. You're going to feel more productive. And when you get home after a long day's work or you're in your office and you come out of your office and your house is clean, it'll make you feel productive, which is always nice. Now, if you don't value your time more than this $20 an hour and you're not able to make more than that, then it doesn't make sense to have a housekeeper. You should just clean your own house. So if you make more than $20 an hour, it doesn't matter what it is. And you're not implementing this in your life. And it's actually costing you more money than having the housekeeper itself and paying for it. You will save not only that money, but you have to think about the 40 hours a week or 40 hours a month that you will be spending cleaning your house. Now, if we do the same math that we did for the clothing, you are going to be spending an extra 480 hours a year cleaning your house. And 480 hours a year is 20 days. So you are going to be spending 20 days of your yearly life cleaning your house instead of working on your business or doing something that you actually love doing that could add a ton of value. So if you add both of these together, you are now adding 25 days of time that you were just spending doing something else that you could be focusing on your business, which is almost one month. Think about if you didn't work for one month, what would happen? You can think about that same principle for meal prepping. You know, when you were cooking and you were spending one hour a day cooking your meals, you were spending seven hours a week, 30 hours a month, 360 hours a year. And it's important to eat healthy. And you could do this at home by meal prepping or ordering a third party meal service, but you have to think about this in the most effective way. So if you add all this time together, whether it's for your house, whether it's for cooking, whether it's for getting dressed, we're talking about 30 to 60 days a year here. And even if you're not focused on a job or your work or your business, would you rather spend this time doing this or spending time with your loved ones, working out, practicing a hobby? It's important because your time is your most valuable asset and you have a limited amount of time with only 30,000 days in the average human lifespan. And you have to make every single one of them count. The last one is work. So when you're often doing things, you need to schedule meetings. Scheduling meetings can be easy now because there are tools like calendly that can allow people to schedule through a link. But what I find is that there's always a lot of back and forth. And so one of the first things that I did was hire an ea so an executive assistant will save you a significant amount of time. The best part is that now that remote culture is so normal that that you can hire a great executive assistant in a country like the Philippines. Or Latin America and save quite a lot of money. They don't even need to necessarily be a full time assistant. But if you think about it, every single day that you schedule a call, every time you schedule a call, it may take you five to 10 minutes back and forth. If you're having three to six interactions a day, that's one hour a day that you were spending scheduling. If you're working five days a week, that's five hours a week. And that is 20 hours a month and 240 hours a year, which is 10 days. When you think about spending 10 days of your waking life scheduling meetings, I understand that meetings can be productive, but that is not the best use of your time because an average EA that you can get from some of these outsourced agencies or other countries may only cost you 10 to $20 an hour. So if you were making more than 10 to $20 an hour, you are literally doing yourself a disservice by not hiring an executive assistant and getting some of these things off of your plate. So if we just look at these examples between a housekeeper, you know, cooking, which we didn't add here, which is another 10 to 20 days a year. So we'll add 2010 to we'll do 15, which is another 15 days a year. So just for us to recap, these are three simple things that almost every single person has to deal with, especially if they're a business owner. By taking a different choice and thinking about your life like these billionaires do, you can save approximately 50 days a year of your time on things that you actually care about. Two extra months to work on whatever you're passionate about, whether it's your business, whether it's your family, whether it's, whether it's about your personal routine, it's almost two extra months of your time and you are leaving that on the table if you are not taking advantage of these systems. Most people try and control every single thing themselves that feels safe, but it caps your growth. The more you personally decide, the slower you're going to move. And the wealthy trade control for delegation. And that trade off may feel uncomfortable, but if you can do it right and oversee it correctly, it can also be incredibly profitable.
