When everything is urgent, how do you decide what gets done?
Manage your focus,
not your hours.
When there's too much to do, the limit is usually focus, not hours. In this hands-on lab, Jason Womack walks you through the focus line and now, next, later, the tools he uses with leaders to protect focus time and keep interruptions from running the day. Then you put them to work on your own week in a small group, and plan how to use them with the people you manage.
