What you'll learn

  • Explain the difference between being busy and being effective, and identify where your own hours actually go
  • Capture every commitment in one trusted system instead of relying on memory
  • Separate urgent from important, and recognise the cost of living permanently in urgency
  • Prioritise work by outcome, consequence and true deadline rather than by who asked last or loudest
  • Plan a realistic day with a few big rocks, deliberate buffer and a protected focus block
  • Negotiate scope and deadlines constructively, and run a weekly review that resets your priorities
