From chaos to calm: four techniques to actually carve out time to create impact...
summary
Shows a concrete method to carve time: map five real calendar activities, pick five high-impact ones, then apply four levers — delete/delegate/automate/streamline — with examples (make developers write tickets, use ChatGPT and an AI note-taker, Miro instead of status meetings, Slack automations). Presents data from a ~200-person poll — 92% burnout, 72% repeat — and outcome metrics from an implementation: 80% OKRs hit, +23% engagement, +12% efficiency and a one-day diary purge to create runway.
