EMAIL OVERLOAD
times the average employee checks their email 

in an hour
PROBLEMS LEADERS FACE: Email Overload
When someone emails you, you actually get
a small rush of dopamine.
(Unfortunately, it’s brief and followed by a sinking 

feeling once you realize it’s just another problem 

to deal with.)
PROBLEMS LEADERS FACE: Email Overload
Checking and responding to email so frequently 

and habitually, we’re building our agendas around
everyone else’s goals, rather than our own.
PROBLEMS LEADERS FACE: Email Overload
FOCUS ON
YOURSELF
Inbox Zero is an approach to email 

management aimed at keeping the inbox

SOUNDS
FAMILIAR?

- Set clear objectives
- Make sure all participants have the agenda 

and all documents well in-advance

meeting can begin promptly

focused
HOW TO MAKE MEETINGS BETTER
3 biggest mistakes:
PROBLEMS LEADERS FACE: Time Management
- Working overtime
- Multitasking
- Not prioritizing
TIME MANAGEMENT
PROBLEMS LEADERS FACE: Time Management
WORKING OVERTIME
In some companies, productivity is measured by 

how many hours an employee spends at their desk.
PROBLEMS LEADERS FACE: Time Management
This is the wrong attitude to have. Research clearly
shows that it lowers performance and causes mental 

and physical health issues.
PROBLEMS LEADERS FACE: Time Management
- According to research, working longer hours 

increases your risk of depression
- All that time spent sitting at work is doing 

massive damage to your body
PROBLEMS LEADERS FACE: Time Management
- People who work longer report sleeping less, 

which obviously has massive effects on your health
- Working 10 or more hours per day leads to a 

60% increase in risk of cardiovascular problems
PROBLEMS LEADERS FACE: Time Management
In another study, people who worked 55 hours per
week showed poorer vocabulary and reasoning
than those who worked 40 hours.
PROBLEMS LEADERS FACE: Time Management
Some studies indicate that knowledge workers 

are the most productive when they work 

35 hours a week.

A Better Leader
PROBLEMS LEADERS FACE: Time Management
In a really interesting study, managers couldn’t
tell the difference between employees who
actually worked 80 hours a week and those who
just pretended to.
Boston University’s Questrom School of Business Study
PROBLEMS LEADERS FACE: Time Management
MULTITASKING
What you call multitasking is really task-switching.

PROBLEMS LEADERS FACE: Time Management
WHY?
Our brains have a finite amount of attention.
PROBLEMS LEADERS FACE: Time Management
Another issue with multitasking 

is you never fully get
“IN THE ZONE”
PROBLEMS LEADERS FACE: Time Management
Pay your bills all at once, then send your emails 

all at once. Each task requires a specific mindset,
and once you get in a groove you should stay there
and finish.

Studies suggest that productivity can be reduced
by as much as 40 percent by the mental blocks
created when people switch tasks.

“The difference between successful people 

and very successful people is that very successful 

people say “no” to almost everything.”

MANAGE YOUR
ENERGY
Part 2
MANAGE YOUR ENERGY
“The number of hours in a day is fixed, 

but the quantity and quality of energy available 

to us is not”
- Tony Schwartz
50+ years ago, a sleep researcher named 

Nathan Kleitman discovered that when we sleep, we
go through a period of light to deep, then back to light.
MANAGE YOUR ENERGY
THIS PROCESS TAKES 90 MINUTES
He later discovered, that our bodies operate by
the same 90 minute rhythm during the day. 

This is what’s known as our
“ULTRADIAN RHYTHM”

MANAGE YOUR ENERGY
In a famous study of violinists, psychologist 

Anders Ericsson found that the top performers 

all had the same practice characteristics:

- They practiced in the morning
- They practiced for three sessions
- Each session was 90 minutes or less
MANAGE YOUR ENERGY
- There was a 20 minute break between 

each session
EXAMPLES 

FROM THE BEST
LEADERS
Part 3
EXAMPLES FROM THE BEST LEADERS
The best leaders have 2 things in common: 

They wake up early and they have a morning routine.
EXAMPLES FROM THE BEST LEADERS
“Morning is wonderful. Its only drawback is that it
comes at such an inconvenient time of day.”
Glen Cook
Contemporary American science fiction
and fantasy writer
EXAMPLES FROM THE BEST LEADERS
But...research shows that early risers tend to be
HAPPIER
EXAMPLES FROM THE BEST LEADERS
Square CEO Jack Dorsey wakes up at 5:30am
to meditate and go for a six-mile jog.
EXAMPLES FROM THE BEST LEADERS
Anna Wintour wakes up every morning 

at 5:45am to play an hour of tennis.
EXAMPLES FROM THE BEST LEADERS

EXAMPLES FROM THE BEST LEADERS
WORK-LIFE BALANCE
Too many of us don’t understand the importance
of balancing work and our personal lives.
WORK-LIFE BALANCE
In fact, in a study done by Accenture, they found
that having a good work life balance is the key 

to a successful career.
WORK-LIFE BALANCE
The power of downtime for the brain:
The “default mode network” is what happens to
the brain when it is resting.
WORK-LIFE BALANCE
It turns out, the brain is doing anything but resting.
It’s actively working to process and make sense of
anything new that it learned in the last day.
WORK-LIFE BALANCE
What If you’re not a morning person?
WORK-LIFE BALANCE
No worries!
WORK-LIFE BALANCE
YOU CAN BUILD IS AS A HABIT.
BUILD YOUR MORNING ROUTINE
To wake up earlier, you want to slowly build 

this habit over time.
BUILD YOUR MORNING ROUTINE
As an example, your schedule could look like this:
- Week 1 - wake up at 6:45am
- Week 2 - wake up at 6:30am
- Week 3 - wake up at 6:15am
- Week 4 - wake up at 6:00am
BUILD YOUR MORNING ROUTINE
Most people do one of two things when 

they first wake up:
- Check their email
- Check Facebook/Twitter/Instagram
BUILD YOUR MORNING ROUTINE
DON’T DO THIS.
BUILD YOUR MORNING ROUTINE
Take advantage of the fact that this time is just 

for you and only do things that will benefit you 

like exercise, writing, reading, etc.
BUILD YOUR MORNING ROUTINE
Becoming a better leader takes time. It’s about
BUILDING BETTER HABITS 

INTO YOUR LIFE
BUILD YOUR MORNING ROUTINE
