Totally agree with the tips and use them daily. Here are my top three. - The Rule of Three: each day, I select three things that I aim to accomplish by the end of the day - Agenda Blocking: I plan my schedule for the following week every Friday. Having dedicated focus blocks has significantly improved my concentration - Meditation: daily meditation helps me maintain focus for longer periods, reduces mind-wandering, and allows me to work with greater attention I can also really recommend the book: hyperfocus.

Good ones James Heath; especially loved Pareto principals. Quick add: You don't have exactly 24 hours on the day for work; It's better to set and complete 3 goals than have 7 and 40% accomplishment tasks.

8moI agree with most! - “don’t think about work in other environments” is a bit tough for VC peeps, since it is a people’s business, where any person you meet is an opportunity to learn about what they do, how they behave or react to situations and how you could cooperate to fulfill a job vacancy, a due diligence inquiry, a fundraising intro, etc. - For meetings, I found the best would be a 45-min slot, which could be adapted to 30 or 60 depending on how it goes, and it also allows for “transition time” (delays, organizing takeaways…)
