INSIGHT

Tools Aren't The Root Problem

  • Time management problems come from lack of clarity, procrastination, and poor planning rather than missing apps.
  • Apps are tools but cannot replace discipline, priorities, and deep thinking required to plan effectively.
ADVICE

Prioritize The Vital Few

  • Identify the vital few tasks that produce the majority of results using the Pareto principle.
  • Use the power of no and schedule reflection time to protect those priorities.
ADVICE

Block Morning Focus Time

  • Block morning time, ideally 1–2 hours, to work on your single most important task without checking email.
  • Start with at least 30 minutes if you can't get more and protect that time from notifications.
