S4E20. RESET: This year, schedule what you need and want first.


Listen Later

Week four of the Stay at the Top Summer Reset series focuses on one of the most powerful and overlooked performance tools you have. Your diary.


Most high performers do not struggle with motivation. They struggle with structure. When calendars fill up with meetings, deadlines and external demands, the behaviours that support energy and wellbeing are pushed aside.


This episode is a reminder that what you schedule first shapes how you operate. If you want this year to feel different, it starts by putting what you need and want into your diary before everything else.


In this episode, I cover:


- Why motivation is rarely the problem for high performers

- How your diary quietly shapes your energy and behaviour

- The cost of leaving meals, movement and breaks to chance

- Why personal commitments need the same respect as work meetings

- How operating reactively drains energy fast

- The role of systems, boundaries and reminders in sustainable performance

- Why everyone needs an operating system, including me

- How this episode builds on earlier resets in the series

- A simple reset task you can apply immediately


Key Quotes


“Your diary tells the truth about what you value.”

“When you deprioritise the break you need, you are deprioritising yourself.”

“You need systems that support the version of you you are trying to become.”
