I block my calendar like it’s a negotiation—no meetings before 10 a.m., no emails after 7 p.m. I treat focus time like revenue: non-negotiable. If something doesn’t move the needle on KPIs or personal growth, it gets cut. I track energy, not hours—high-focus tasks go when my cortisol peaks, admin gets dumped in the troughs. Burnout isn’t mystical; it’s poor resource allocation. So I audit weekly: what drained me? What multiplied output? Ruthlessly prune the former. I don’t “unplug”—I redirect. Walks are for podcasts on behavioral econ, weekends include skill sprints, not spa days. Recovery isn’t passive; it’s strategic retooling. And yes, I say no. A lot. Not out of spite, but because capacity is finite and ambition isn’t. If you’re spread thin, you’re not failing—you’re misallocating. Fix the inputs, outputs follow. No guilt, no drama. Just data-driven boundaries.
