Key takeaways
- Balance is subjective; you feel balanced when your time goes to your highest priorities, so define and rank your values first.
- Build an ideal weekly calendar with fixed 'rocks' and flexible time, and re-plan it every ninety days.
- Productivity without boundaries just makes you a more efficient workaholic.
- An accountability partner, often a spouse or a coach, is what makes boundaries stick.
- Spend thirty to sixty minutes a day processing inputs: decide whether it is yours, do it if it takes under five minutes, give it a deadline or park it in a task list.
