The average tech CEO works about 300 days a year, 14 hours a day. That’s 4,200 hours a year. the schedule of a typical CEO, a full 70% of that time is sub-optimal
we can all stop wasting time and missing out on opportunities.
- MANAGE YOUR ENERGY.
Not too long ago, the average human used to walk 12 miles a day. Now we sit. We sit a lot. We sit so much. It’s so bad for us that Harvard Business Review has called it the smoking of our generation. If you work in tech, you average 9.3 hours sitting every day. This is more than you sleep. As people, we’re meant to move. It’s vital to our health, but also our ability to be effective.
- GIVE YOUR TEAM LEVERAGE.
One of the most productive CEOs I recently spoke to is religious about “management by walking around.” This is exactly what it sounds like. He circulates the office, stopping to talk to his team members one-on-one or in small groups throughout the day.
- BE AN EMAIL NINJA.
For those of you who haven’t seen SaneBox, I’m a huge fan — it’s so simple. It's like Google Priority Mailbox, supercharged and works well with your iPhone. It sets up a bulk folder that takes all bulk email out of your inbox. Anything that you don’t need to read personally, you never see it. It’s accurate and it saves a ton of time.
