Fragmentation: how much time is in blocks long enough to be useful 5. The hidden costs: context switching, meeting preparation and recovery time 6. Time spent on work that should be delegated, automated or stopped 7. When the person is doing their most demanding work versus when they have most energy 8. The three changes with the largest return 9. What is structural and cannot be changed by personal discipline alone 10.
