Episode notes
Use Constraints And Delegation
- Create constraints to force clarity: pick 3–5 items that make a day successful and protect time for them.
- Delegate low-leverage tasks so your energy moves bigger levers and you become far more productive.
Rebuilt Schedule To Be Present As A Dad
- Luka used parental leave to rework coaching schedule and now doesn't coach Tuesdays, Thursdays, and most Saturdays to prioritize family.
- He only coaches every other Saturday and shifted to working from home to be a present dad at 5 pm.
Practice Role Transitions
- Practice transitions between roles by pausing briefly to switch focus and presence before starting the next task.
- Use short rituals (sit in car for 3–5 minutes) to put on the next 'hat' and be more present in each role.
