In this episode, Andrew Hartman, founder of Time Boss, joins the show to challenge the way leaders think about time. Drawing from his own burnout and breakthrough, Andrew reveals how high-achieving professionals can reclaim control of their calendar, emotional margin, and ultimately their impact not by doing more but by leading themselves better.
He introduces a powerful reframe: stop treating time like credit and start treating it like cash. From commitment plans and chaos buffering to becoming a better boss to your future self, Andrew gives leaders a practical playbook to shift from overwhelm to sustainable, energized performance.
Key Takeaways:
- Leaders must stop treating time like credit and start budgeting it like cash.
- Emotional margin is created by making commitment plans not by getting to the bottom of your to-do list.
- Overextending yourself doesn’t mean more results; it often leads to cognitive overload and diminished decision-making.
- Delegating, deferring, and chaos-blocking are essential to managing the unpredictable nature of leadership.
- You are the boss of your future self so lead accordingly and with intention.
