In this episode, Andrew Hartman, founder of Time Boss, joins the show to challenge the way leaders think about time. Drawing from his own burnout and breakthrough, Andrew reveals how high-achieving professionals can reclaim control of their calendar, emotional margin, and ultimately their impact not by doing more but by leading themselves better.

He introduces a powerful reframe: stop treating time like credit and start treating it like cash. From commitment plans and chaos buffering to becoming a better boss to your future self, Andrew gives leaders a practical playbook to shift from overwhelm to sustainable, energized performance.

Key Takeaways:

1. Leaders must stop treating time like credit and start budgeting it like cash.
2. Emotional margin is created by making commitment plans not by getting to the bottom of your to-do list.
3. Overextending yourself doesn’t mean more results; it often leads to cognitive overload and diminished decision-making.
4. Delegating, deferring, and chaos-blocking are essential to managing the unpredictable nature of leadership.
5. You are the boss of your future self so lead accordingly and with intention.
