Time management for construction leaders isn't about working harder — it's about deciding what actually matters before the week decides for you.

In this episode, Jesse breaks down the hyper-reactivity loop that keeps construction superintendents, foremen, and project managers double-booked and frazzled — and shares two practical tools to fix it.

You'll learn:

• The "Book Your Week" system — one weekly reset, a daily task limit of seven, and how it makes it easier to push back on last-minute requests
• Three mental preset phrases that buy you time without burning bridges with your team or manager
• Why last-minute demands keep landing on your plate — and whose behavior is reinforcing it
• The one priority conversation that protects your focus without throwing yourself under the bus
• What Jesse will (and won't) let disrupt his weekly plan

If you're a construction leader who ends every week wondering where it went, this episode is for you.
