The Resilient Executive: A Better Way to Work

Work no more than 90 minutes and then take a break! Do this two more times in a day and you’ll accomplish more in 4.5 hours than those cranking hard for 8 to 12 hours straight. Throw in an occasional Vitamin C IV with glutathione and some deep breathing exercises and you’re good to go for the next decade.

I’m oversimplifying the message from executive performance icon Tony Schwartz, but not by much (NOTE: I added the Vitamin C IV recommendation!). As Schwartz exclaims, “energy management is more critical than time management, something today’s leaders must understand in (re)-structuring work.”
