By employing the principles of effective time management, Chan Phei Yong navigates through his diverse responsibilities with ease, ensuring that he maximises his potential and achieves his goals.

&ldquo;You seem to be involved in so much. How do you manage your time?&rdquo; Chan Phei Yong&rsquo;s acquaintances would occasionally question him. The fact is his adept management of time is contingent on a myriad of factors. And one of which draws inspiration from the profound insights encapsulated within the literary masterpiece known as The Underlying Logic, a revealing study on the concept of individual time granularity. The captivating book elucidates the notion that each person possesses a distinctive perception and utilisation of time. A striking exemplification of this phenomenon lies in the meticulous 15-minute granularity method employed by Wang Jianlin, the preeminent tycoon of China. This approach entails ardently dedicating 15 minutes to each task at hand. Conversely, Bill Gates adroitly delves into the crux of matters through succinct five-minute bursts, owing to his nuanced granularity.

The revelations unveiled by these extraordinary luminaries have brought to Chan&rsquo;s fathom on the profound significance of discerning one&rsquo;s own temporal rhythm. By astutely comprehending his own time granularity, Chan&rsquo;s able to harness his productivity to its fullest potential, thereby accomplishing his goals. Constantly in pursuit of novel strategies to meet the ever-evolving demands of his diverse interests and obligations, Chan remains fervently engaged in the pursuit of effective time management. Chan possesses an astute awareness of the paramount importance of prioritisation and foresightful planning. He painstakingly orchestrates his day, allocating the necessary time and attention to each work in accordance with their priorities. To stave off any sense of overwhelm and maintain an organised demeanour, Chan diligently categorises his tasks and sets realistic deadlines.&nbsp;

What&rsquo;s more, collaboration and work delegation have an immense influence, which Chan thoroughly recognises. Rather than shouldering the burden alone, he deftly recruits competent individuals to aid him in his endeavours, entrusting them with specific responsibilities. This judicious approach enables him to efficiently accomplish all tasks while resolutely focusing on what truly matters. Above all else, Chan knows how critical it is to prioritise self-care and maintain a healthy work-life balance. He places paramount importance on activities such as exercise, meditation, and cherishing quality moments with loved ones, as these endeavours foster physical and mental well-being. By conscientiously tending to his own needs, Chan amplifies his productivity and augments his time management prowess, ensuring that his mind remains lucid and unwaveringly focused.

Here, Chan shares with us his personal taste when it comes to discovering watches that pique his interest. For many people, watches are now a form of personal style. How do you select the right watch to match your taste and improve your appearance? For me, every watch acquisition represents a chapter of self-exploration&nbsp;and self-definition. It&rsquo;s not just about personal taste; it&rsquo;s about finding a watch that truly reflects who you are. With each new watch, I seek a connection between its design and my current mindset and lifestyle. How can you make sure that you prioritise self-care and take time for yourself in this fast-paced world where everything appears to be happening so quickly? The rhythm of life, much like our thoughts, is something we control, not something outside of us. It&rsquo;s all about us steering the ship, not letting others take the wheel. Time is frequently seen as a luxury, particularly for individuals with hectic schedules like yourself. How can you maximise your time and stay on top of your busy schedule? For me, the key is to focus on excelling in the present task within that specific time frame.

Besides serving a practical purpose, watches can often have sentimental value. Do you feel that Hublot watches have a deeper importance to you because of the stories they tell? When discussing this aspect, I&rsquo;m reminded of the former CEO of Hublot, Mr Jean-Claude Biver. During his tenure, he outlined three major principles for Hublot. In any creative or design endeavour, it must meet one of these three criteria: Be the first, be unique, be different. For example, when conceptualising a new watch design, the first consideration should be whether it's the &ldquo;first&rdquo; of its kind in the market. If not, can it be improved to become the &ldquo;unique&rdquo; choice in the market? If not, can the case be made of the &ldquo; best&rdquo; and most durable material? These three principles have had a profound impact on me. I have also incorporated them into the learning direction of my own company, CMAKER. Watches are often linked to a sense of success and elevated social standing. How do you feel about using watches to showcase your success and accomplishments in the entertainment industry? To me, a watch isn&rsquo;t just a status symbol; it&rsquo;s a passion, a pure source of joy and fulfilment.
