In this episode, Vicki Abelson shares her personal experience with attention deficit disorder (ADD) and how she developed strategies to improve focus and productivity. She introduces the concept of the Wednesday Refresh, where she takes 10-15 minutes every Wednesday to replan the rest of her work week. Vicki categorizes tasks as urgent, important, not urgent, or important but not urgent, and schedules them accordingly. She emphasizes the importance of prioritizing and delegating tasks to maximize productivity. The Wednesday Refresh helps individuals regain control of their to-do lists and stay focused throughout the week.
Takeaways

- The Wednesday Refresh is a weekly practice of replanning the work week, categorizing tasks, and scheduling them based on urgency and importance.
