In this concise talk, the speaker urges viewers to schedule meetings with realistic time buffers, including commuting, preparation, and post‑meeting note‑taking. By allocating these extra minutes, days stay on track, reducing stress and preventing the erosion of family, self‑care, and gym time. The speaker also recommends scheduling shower time after the gym as part of the workout block, emphasizing that realistic timing keeps personal routines intact and avoids the day slipping into chaos.

Chapters

Be realistic. So now that we're back, you know, going to live events, are you scheduling the time for the meeting, or are you including the commuting time? Or if you have meetings and you need to prep before to remember, like, what was the conversation we had before, and if I need to make notes after, schedule that time in the block of time for the meeting. Because a lot of people don't, and then their day slips and slides, and at the end of the day they've been running behind, they're stressed, family time gets cut, your self-care, maybe it's your gym time, you know, and schedule time like realistically to get everything done. If you're going to shower after the gym, which I recommend, schedule the time to include that, not just an hour at the gym. Like, be realistic with your timing.
