In this monthly Q&A, I answer two questions submitted by listeners of the show. While the questions are different in their details, the fundamental theme of today’s show is consistent: the key to learning and working smarter is knowing what’s in our control and what’s not, and optimizing everything we have the power to change.

What You Learn:

• The real reason juggling multiple client systems creates admin chaos - plus a three-part system to regain control
• Why task inboxes and task management systems aren't the same thing - and how confusing them keeps you overwhelmed
• How to figure out if afternoon focus crashes are biological or just a narrative you've reinforced over time
• Simple fixes for afternoon energy slumps: strategic eating, movement timing, and classroom positioning
• Why you should optimize your schedule around energy patterns and experiment with changing those patterns at the same time
