3/3 Doing less for myself than I should have
I would finish my job early and would still:
• Not improve my fitness level.
• Not focus on my family and relationships.
• Not make progress on my personal projects.
Make time for yourself.

• They were always draining.
Fix by:
• Setting sacred hours for focused work.
• Setting office hours for meetings and requests.
Be creative first, reactive later.
• They were never quick.

1/3 Not having well-defined working hours.
It led to:
• Infinite calls.
• Working on weekends.
• Changes in production at 8 p.m.
Do what you should, when you should.
