Are you feeling overwhelmed and struggling to find enough time in the day to get everything done? As a CEO, it can be challenging to manage your energy, attention, and team while growing your business. But what if I told you that overwhelm can be solved by mastering your energy and attention?
In today's episode, we dive deep into strategies to help you prioritize, focus, and execute faster, so you can overcome overwhelm and achieve your goals.
Key Episode Highlights:
1. Defining overwhelm: Overwhelm is the feeling of having too many tasks and not knowing where to start. Prioritization is the key to overcoming overwhelm.
2. Managing physical and mental energy: Physical energy is essential for vitality and productivity. Proper nutrition, sleep, hydration, and exercise are crucial. Mental energy involves focus, clarity, decision-making, and emotional resilience.
