Life of a flying CEO
summary
One person logs 170 flights in 2018 (168 and 165 in earlier years) and turns travel into structured productivity: use long-haul thinking time to download files and set three goals per flight, treat layovers like a business lounge office, schedule 50-minute “conference room” slots around taxis and flights, carve out a travel library for reading, do networking by planning meals and coffees ahead, and protect health with a fixed exercise or cooking routine — all tracked with pen and paper and calendar discipline.
