• Busyness is not a sign of success. Many leaders wear it as a badge of honor, but in reality, it’s a sign of lost control over their time.
• The key shift is moving from reactive to proactive scheduling. Most people spend their days responding to others’ demands rather than designing their time intentionally.
• Time blocking is essential—but protecting that time is even more critical. It’s not just about scheduling priorities, but making sure those blocks don’t get overtaken by urgent distractions.
• Consistency in small actions leads to long-term impact. Rather than seeking big, drastic changes, focusing on minor daily adjustments creates sustainable progress.
