Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch with Roland Frasier and Ryan Deiss! In this episode, Ryan shares his time blocking strategy, which includes dedicated time for strategy, connecting with team members, deep work, and recovery. They discuss the pros and cons of time blocking and explore alternative approaches like “variable time blocking.” This episode is a must-watch for all entrepreneurs.
Highlights:
“Time blocking is telling your time where to go instead of wondering where it went.”
“If every hour of every day is blocked in, that’s usually a sign that you’re probably micromanaging, that you’re probably doing too much of the work that your team should be doing.”
“What gets measured, gets managed.”
