Highly successful people protect their calendar, knowing and feeling the
reality that nothing is more important than time. They say no to anything and
everyone who does not align with their priorities and are especially wary of
“distant elephants.” They do something only if they aren’t able to drop it,
delegate it, or redesign it. They spend time on the 20 percent of things that
contribute 80 percent of the value—and they drop the rest.

react to stimuli like incoming email, social media messages, or “got a minute”
meetings.

time.
Highly successful people concentrate on their MIT and other priorities during
times of peak energy, typically in the morning.
Highly successful people pulse and pause to maintain concentration and
productivity throughout the day. Most take 5-minute breaks every 30 to 60
