Collaborate in the afternoon—hold all work-related meetings and phone calls from about 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.; interacting with others is less brain taxing and a bit energizing

Connect in the evening—socially bond with family and friends from 7:00 p.m. to later in the evening, strengthening relationships while relaxing and recharging

Others talk about having just two categories: maker time and management time. But even this simple distinction helps you to pause and think through what a task is related to, and whether you should try to slot it into your peak energy time.

Last, when you move everything onto your calendar and are forced to assign a time duration, you will be less likely to default everything into half-hour or hour time slots. How often do you automatically just block off an entire hour when someone asks to “grab a coffee and catchup” or “pick your brain”? Remember the coaches’ obsession: it’s with minutes. What I heard repeatedly in my interviews was the more successful someone is, the smaller the amount of time their default is.

Jordan Harbinger, the host of The Jordan Harbinger Show, told me once, “Use a calendar and schedule your entire day into 15-minute blocks. It sounds like a pain, but this will set you up in the 95th percentile as far as organization goes. Use this not just for appointments, but workouts, calls, email blocks, etc.” (Kruse 2015).

And bestselling author and cofounder of Likeable Media, Dave Kerpen, said, “If it’s not in my calendar, it won’t get done. But if it is in my calendar, it will get done. I schedule out every 15 minutes of every day to conduct meetings, review materials, write, and do any activities I need to get done” (Kruse 2015).
