Happy to answer any questions!

There are no 25-hour days, unfortunately or not!

I read this a day ago, and already implemented #8 when I was a few minutes late to a meeting. #11 inspired me to add a few others to our slack channel

One of my favorite time-management techniques is to answer unplanned calls with, “Hey, I’m just about to step into a meeting, what’s up?” and then telling them I have a 2 minutes if they offer to call back when I have more time.

I do 10 min 1:1’s every Tuesday that are only focused on how the individual is feeling/doing personally & professionally. They are not allowed to update me on specific tasks/projects.

This helps to make all other team meetings super focused on the results we want rather than chit chatting, plus it allows every single person to be heard and receive personal feedback during a dedicated time.

I take a bus and able to get some work done. If you do drive you can use the time to listen to podcasts, which are awesome these days.

The typical American drives an hour each day and it’s nearly 100% dead time that could be utilized in other ways.
