90% of your productivity comes down to just 3 things:

1. Energy.
You can’t manage time if you don’t manage energy.
Sleep, movement, and breaks. That’s your real fuel.
Run out of energy, and no system or app can save you.

2. Focus.
Distraction is the enemy.
Every notification is a tax on your brain.
The best performers protect their attention like it’s gold… because it is.

3. Priorities.
Most of what we do doesn’t matter.
The key is knowing the few things that do and doing those first.
Everything else is noise.

Master these 3 and the rest takes care of itself.

#1 New York Times bestselling author of 7 books.

The most important thing isn’t “how” we are living, it’s “why”.

I’m 61.
Don’t work with jerks — no matter how talented they are. They tax your energy, slow your growth, and quietly ruin the work.

Your 20s and 30s aren’t about having it all figured out. They’re about building the habits, systems, and courage that future you will thank you for.

Is there a best time for everything?
Science says yes.

When to schedule a doctor’s appointment
Research shows 3:00 PM is the Bermuda Triangle of healthcare.
In the afternoon:
-Anesthesia errors are 4× more likely
-Doctors detect fewer cancers
-Handwashing and vaccine recommendation rates drop
Morning = maximum alertness.
Afternoon = avoid for anything serious.

When to drink coffee
Don’t drink coffee right after waking.
Wait 60–90 minutes.
Your cortisol (natural alertness hormone) is already high when you wake up.
Caffeine too early can actually make you more tired later.

When to shower
The best time depends on your goal.
Night → better sleep
Warm water → body cools afterward → signals rest.
Morning → better focus
Cooler water → wakes your nervous system.
Either works. Consistency matters most.

When to exercise
Morning
-Discipline
-Up to 20% more fat burned
-Easier habit formation

Afternoon
-Better performance
-Warmer muscles
-Stronger lungs
-Fewer injuries
Same workout. Different results.

When to nap
Best window: 2–3 PM
Ideal length: 10–20 minutes
Longer naps = groggy brain.
Pro move: a nappuccino ☕
Coffee → 20-minute nap → wake as caffeine kicks in.

When to start fresh
Use a Fresh Start Date.
Psychologists call this the Fresh Start Effect.
New Year’s Day.
Birthdays.
Mondays.
Your brain loves clean slates.

People say “timing is everything.”
They’re wrong.
Everything is timing.
Learn to use it, and time becomes your unfair advantage.
