Are you intentional with how you use your 24 hours each day?
Perhaps you want to increase your performance, but not at the expense of what matters most? To show up at your best as a leader in your organisation, community and family? What are those activities and responsibilities that you commit to each day—no matter what—that underpin your success as a corporate executive or entrepreneur?
Identify your non-negotiables to attain peak performance and honour that which is most valuable to you
Explore two categories of non-negotiables: First, those activities that are a foundation for attaining peak performance, and second, those responsibilities that matter most to you in life. And then commit time to both.
Foundations for peak performance
" … gratitude, mindfulness, exercise and sleep are non-negotiables for sustained peak performance. The non-negotiable part is key. When life gets complicated, these four practices are typically what we remove from our schedule. But the research shows that this is the last choice we should make. Instead, lean into these practices, as they're how you get the creativity needed to untangle the complicated." —Steven Kotler, The Art of the Impossible
