We've been talking about productivity and focus recently and we want to continue in that vein today. Over on our Instagram account we recently ran a poll which asked you whether or not your current pace was sustainable and would it lead to health or unhealth? 67 percent of you answered "yes" and 33 percent of you answered "no".
A great way to gauge your sustainability is to zoom out and look at your week to see how it's structured.
Unsure of how to do that? On today's episode, Alan is going to walk you through a framework he uses to build out the ideal week. It's simple, practical, and if implemented, you'll be able to take next steps toward a healthy sustainable pace to your life and leadership.
