Episode 2228:
Julie Morgenstern covers two drains on a workday. In the first article she explains how invisible emotional and logistical load shrinks what gets done in a day, and why a shorter to-do list and a new definition of a successful day restore a sense of accomplishment. In the second she shows how to push back on back-to-back meetings by speaking up, starting with small wins, and building buffers into the calendar for better time management and productivity.

Quotes to ponder:
"If you can only get nine things done in a day, put nine on your to-do list."
"Unfortunately, we're still applying old principles of productivity to a completely new world."
"We don't have as much control as we'd like, but we actually have more control than we think."
