Episode notes

Don Corey: Take care of yourself first. Give yourself time to think, have a clear mind because then you're better off at the whole planning aspect of it. He says if there's anything we need right now more than ever is to be thinking about how to protect our time. "Make sure that we're not filling up our calendar and our task lists with things that one, we shouldn't be doing, but two, aren't the most important"

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.
