Success Genius: Where Science Meets Entrepreneurial Success
Becoming Someone Who Protects Their Best Hours
Feb 11, 2026
Episode 315
What if the reason you feel behind isn’t because you don’t have enough time… but because you haven’t been protecting the right time?
It’s so easy to get caught in busy work—emails, quick tasks, “urgent” stuff—then wonder why the important projects never move forward. But here’s the truth: productivity isn’t always about doing more. Sometimes it’s about doing the right things at the right time.
In this episode of Success Genius, I dive into the power of discernment—the wisdom to know what deserves your time, energy, and attention. We’ll talk about decision fatigue, your brain’s natural productivity sweet spot, and how protecting your best hours can completely change your results.
Because real success isn’t about working longer… It's about learning how to guard your peak focus, say no to distractions (even good ones), and build a schedule that actually supports your goals.
Topics covered in this episode include:
- What discernment really means
- The difference between real work vs. busy work—and how “productivity theater” keeps you stuck
- Decision fatigue and why your best choices happen earlier in the day
- How your circadian rhythm + “productivity sweet spot” affects focus, motivation, and deep work
- Practical ways to protect your best hours, set boundaries, and schedule your hardest work at the right time
Ready to stop letting your time get pulled in every direction? Tune in and learn how to protect your best hours, work smarter, and make real progress—without doing more.
