Description:

Time. The most limited resource (along with attention). Many leaders feel if they can better manage their time, they can become better leaders. Yes… and no. The big secret to time management isn’t actually about time. In today’s episode, my good friend Darrin Peppard and I discuss about 10 different tips for managing your time. We lead with the previously mentioned “big secret” so you don’t need to wait long for that. Also, near the end of this episode, Darrin is going to share a couple of complimentary resources that I think you are going to want to have. Okay, let’s go!
