When I was building my company Spheric Technologies in 2003, my schedule was a MESS.
100-hour work weeks…
Working until 2 a.m. and then back in meetings again at 7 a.m…
And 95% of my calendar was filled with work that drained my energy.
I HATED getting out of bed.
Nowadays, thanks to the strategies I want to share with you today, my life and business are totally different...
I run multiple 8-figure companies working just 7 hours on some weeks...
I get to spend most of my time doing what I love... coaching amazing founders.
And I explode out of bed, pumped full of energy to crush the day.
How did I get here?
Hard work.
But also, after years of grinding and crawling through the trenches…
I’ve discovered the secret to designing my calendar and life to be the most effective CEO and unlock painless growth.
So if you want to perform at a high level in every area of your life, then watch today’s episode.

Better title is how personal assistants schedule for their CEOs. While busy, top leaders can change schedules if a situation arises. They can also use their assistants to decline and say no. Middle managers and line workers don’t have any of those luxuries with their time.

Fair point yes but everyone has a level that they can start and apply what was taught in the video. And the book goes into more details about how to do that regardless of where you are at. I would also agree with you that it is less simple than that without the assistance of hired help however being able to take one or two things from the video and apply it to see how you can create changes in your time that makes sense for you seems like the way to go. Just my 2 cents that nobody asked for😏✌🏾
Dan, this is one of the best videos you've ever made (and I've watched for years). Thanks so much for taking the time to detail out your "self imposed rules." I love seeing the higher standard you've set for yourself.

Really good Dan!! I just wrote this out. I'm almost there but I love the discipline on the time blocking...for me, I realize I have been all over the place in my schedule throughout the years. ..sometimes my hair was on fire. lol, I have had great success with that but I can imagine this will skyrocket my goals.
The first 90 minutes should be spent focusing on what matters most. I am enjoying this. Great share

Fantastic insights, Dan! 🚀 The life of a CEO is anything but ordinary, and effective time management is critical. Here are my top three takeaways from "How CEOs Schedule Their Day": 1⃣ Prioritize the Important Over the Urgent: It's so easy to get caught up in the urgent daily tasks and forget about the crucial, longer-term initiatives. The best CEOs know how to distinguish between the two and allocate time accordingly. 2⃣ Time Blocks for Deep Work: Setting aside dedicated blocks of time for focused, uninterrupted work can lead to significant progress on projects. These moments of deep work can be the difference between a good CEO and a great one. 3⃣ Self-care is Non-negotiable: Amidst the hustle, top CEOs never forget to schedule time for self-care, whether it's meditation, exercise, or even just short breaks. A well-rested and healthy CEO is far more effective. Dan, your expertise and experience shine through in every video. Thanks for helping budding CEOs and entrepreneurs elevate their game with tried and tested strategies. Keep lighting the way! 🔥
This is next level! I dont understand a few things though: 1. When do you take a break? How can you possibly wake up at 4am then work until the evening without crashing? 2. What do you mean that your morning routine lasts from 4am-12pm? 3. Do you wake up and start working right away? No meditation/priming before?
Great video! Lots of good points to apply here.

Great video Dan! Your book BBYT is an instant classic. I've re-read it many times and am working to implement it fully. The home manager has been life-changing. Question? You mentioned in the podcast not too long ago about a progression pathway for employees to move up in your company...I'm not able to find it anymore...would you be able to share the link?

I loved the video. I'm confused about one thing though. I'm totally on board with not multi-tasking and batching tasks, but then you mentioned that you'll get on a bike for internal meetings and read books while you recover in a hot tub. Isn't that multi-tasking? I could see how certain tasks e.g. cycling, soaking in a hot tub are not attention demanding and maybe that's the answer, don't do 2+ attention demanding activities at once.

Yup you got it. I call it NET (No Extra Time) Look at your day and see where you can insert non-cognitive tasks with some cognitive tasksz
hey Dan do you ever feel like this burns you out? Do you ever feel like you need time in the day to do anything? Also if you fall behind in something perhaps a meeting, doesn't it push all your other meetings or blocks back?

2:25 “from 4am in the morning until 9pm when I pass out” Where do you live for having this schedule? It depends on the location am I right? As I said on the short, this is very generous and hope to be able to give back likewise one day amen

Great takeaway!
Why is it so hard to find angel investors when they know their contribution can accelarate excellent companies or startups. Sure, a lot have to invest internally and won't take risks. But you never hear back from an investor no matter how good the idea or vision is. Talking from a 30 years business development perspective.

U were suppose to say 'lets do it', and in 2-5-10 years you would have another 100 mil business which we can decide to exit or not 😌
So CEOs also like flexibility too and first 90 minutes spent in traffic would be a waste.
Is the trick to having 90 productive minutes in the morning, to get up before your kids do?
