Every January, professionals plan to get ahead. By March, they're buried in meetings and maintenance work while the work that should move their career sits untouched. The issue isn't discipline - it's structure.

In this episode, I show you how to build a realistic week using three zones: Focus Time (career-moving work), Maintenance Time (admin), and Messy Time (inevitable chaos). You'll also learn how to protect priorities by trading requests instead of absorbing them.
