Today we sit down with Brett McDermott for a tactical episode of Persistence Playbook that flips your daily planning on its head. If you’re a regular listener, you know Brett doesn’t just talk productivity—he builds systems that stick.

This time, he breaks down how to stop reacting to your day and start designing it like a pro.

If you’re new here, get ready to learn why time-blocking isn’t enough—and how energy-blocking, micro-recovery, and nightly resets can change everything.

Key Takeaways

• Define your “three wins” before the day begins
• Match tasks to energy, not just time
• Protect your first 90 minutes like sacred ground
• Build in recovery to boost performance
• Review and reset daily to evolve, not just execute
