A great way to start is not working 24/7. Here are 3 simple practices to pull that off: 1) Scheduling guilt-free play first Put non-work things (gym time, social activities, etc.) in your calendar first at the start of a week. You’ll have something to look forward to outside of work. 2) Having a shutdown routine Put a shutdown routine on your calendar. Start with a final email review. Then, update your to-do list with any notes from the day. Lastly, review the day ahead on your calendar. 3) Creating a capture system Some of your best ideas come to you when you're not working. Have a system to capture any of these during non-work hours. Don’t dive into them there and then – simply record them as a note in your phone or on a notepad.

As an executive coach, I know well-being is key to long-term success. Self-reflection helps master your mind, mood, and energy. I guide clients to set boundaries, define work hours, and create end-of-day routines to protect personal time and boost focus. Tools like the Eisenhower Matrix prioritize what matters most, while regular breaks and strategic tech use promote smarter work. A sparring partner, like a coach, challenges you to grow beyond your comfort zone and achieve self-mastery. Combined with habits like sleep, hydration, and mindfulness, this builds resilience. Reflection and realignment ensure balance and sustained success

Focus on mind management not time management. Learn your peak productive hours where your energy levels are naturally high. This is the time you can work on time consuming and important works. At your low energy hours work on small tasks which doesnt require lot of energy. This way you will naturally be productive without feeling exhausted.
