Episode 4: Shruti Rustagi

For coaching: use scheduling link

Calendarise important but not urgent tasks

Use mindfulness during meetings

Yoga nidra to boost energy levels on days where sleep is limited

Control environment to block distractions (Slack, Chime, emails)

Switch off notifications
Put phone in another room
Email autoresponder (I'm busy for the next 4hrs)
- Email SLA should not be 5 minutes!

Prioritisation

Push back: ask questions like "why do you need this? why is this urgent? who needs to do this? how does it need to be done?"
Eisenhower matrix: good for task prioritisation but not goal prioritisation
- Q3 tasks can often be delegated or postponed
- Importance:
  - what's in it for me/my family/company?
Goal prioritisation: take a long term perspective
- how can you get there faster or add more value
