Welcome to the ERW podcast, I’m your host, BpB, fellow road warrior, husband of one, father of five, and learning to be productive when I’m in my home office which can be a bigger challenge than one would think!
Each episode highlights one of the six energy habits and today we’re focusing on energy habit # 4: PERFORM.

Tip One - Get Up on Time and Maximize a Strong Early Morning Rhythm
Tip Two - Create a Designated Work Space
Tip Three - Develop a Workday Startup Ritual
Fill my Elite Road Warrior water bottle
Turn on instrumental music
Light a candle
Open up my planner to review my schedule for the day
Tip Four - Create a Key
Tip Five - Hide the Distractions
Tip Six - Establish a Communication System
Tip Seven - Work in Time Blocks
Focus Time Blocks - 90-120 minutes blocks of time when we’re especially creative, inspired, and able to do high-level work that requires your focus (this would be your key3). Focus blocks fuel your best work.
Social Time Blocks - 90-120 minute blocks of time when we’re primed and energetically in the right space to meet other people. This is interacting with people in real time. This is your video and audio time when you’re home and have meetings, set calls, etc.
Administrative Time Blocks - 30-60 minutes low-energy blocks of time when we’re not in the zone to do the work that requires “heavy lifting” but there are still types of work we can do effectively. Think: email, phone calls, CRM work, digital, paper filing, low-level filing, organizing, etc.
Recovery Time Blocks - variable length blocks of time that we use for activities that recharge us such as a lunch break without a screen, going for a 15-minute mid morning or mid afternoon walk to “move the body and rest the mind"
Tip Eight - Develop a Workday Shutdown Ritual
