Today we dive into practical strategies for taking back control of your time by creating the perfect weekly schedule. A schedule that not only aligns with your priorities but also helps you minimize distractions, maximize productivity, and avoid burnout.
The framework Megan Long discusses in this episode, is called the "Ideal Week", based on Todd Duncan’s book Time Traps. By the end of the exercise, you'll walk away with a weekly schedule that includes all the essential activities -- team meetings, one-on-ones, and strategic work -- while also making room for personal development, self-care, and focus time. Once you’ve crafted this schedule, it’s about sticking to it and protecting your time from last-minute disruptions.
