Summary
In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I explain why most people are not exhausted because they work too much. They are exhausted because they keep switching between different types of work. I break down how analytical, creative, and interpersonal tasks each use a different part of the brain, and why it takes time to shift from one to another. I talk about the importance of getting into the zone and why interruptions and multitasking keep us from doing our best work. I also share how time blocking helps me stay focused by grouping similar tasks together instead of bouncing between them all day. I close with a simple challenge to organize your calendar around the way your brain actually works so you can get more done with less stress.
