When you're feeling in control, consciously making decisions about how you're investing your time and making progress on your most important goals, then you've hit the right depth. That is gonna be really a personal thing. And it's gonna take some trial and error for people to get to that understanding of having an equilibrium between all of those different variables. You know, what's the end goal here though? I mean, is it to have more free time? Is it to get more done? It's all of the above.
Don Khouri has spent decades studying productivity as a PhD in human and organizational systems, corporate VP, speaker, and executive coach. In his quest to understand the secrets of the most productive people, he discovered the missing link in current productivity systems: they tell you how to manage projects and to-do lists, but don't show you how to determine what gets put on your plate in the first place.
Don's new book is 'When to say Yes - The 5 Steps to Protect Your Time'. In this episode Don shares ways to protect your time, knowing how to triage requests and knowing when to say yes to incoming opportunities.
