Rise and Fix Part 17. Hi, this is Peter and I hope you're all well. Rise and Fix in 2026 is a fortnightly leadership series focused on disciplined self-improvement through small intentional actions that compound into lasting results. The series is built on one principle: meaningful change comes from deliberate action, not intention alone. Across 26 focused episodes, that's right 26, the series explores practical disciplines that strengthen leadership, sharpen thinking, and improve execution from clarity and accountability to consistency, focus and ownership. Each episode introduces a single action designed to be applied immediately. No complexity, no noise, just clear thinking and disciplined follow-through. This is not about transformation through motivation, it's about progress through repetition. Rise with intent, fix what matters and build results that last. In all these podcasts, I've tried to give you a small mantra to work with. Today's is I manage my time and protect my energy. This has been the same for all the podcasts so far. Effectiveness requires energy management. Prioritizing time and protecting focus sustains performance. Time is limited. Energy is critical. I manage my time and protect my energy. So, not all tasks deserve equal attention, as we all know. Prioritize what matters, protect your focus, manage your capacity because the performance isn't just about time, it's about how you use it. Great story. In a regional project team at a major Australian bank, the project manager Claire faced mounting deadlines and a rapidly expanding to-do list. Recognizing that not every task would have equal impact, she began each morning by reviewing her priorities and allocating dedicated time blocks to the most strategic work such as stakeholder engagement and risk assessment while setting boundaries around meetings and emails. By deliberately focusing her energy on high-impact activities and protecting her time from distractions, Claire not only met the milestones, the key milestones ahead of schedule, but also maintained a steady, sustainable pace for a team. Very, very critical. This disciplined approach to time and energy managed management helped the project succeed without burnout, demonstrating that real effectiveness comes from intentional focus, not just clocking up more hours. Next week, I want to talk about I Show Up Even When It's Uncomfortable. I'm Peter, thanks for watching, thanks for listening. Speak to you again soon. Bye.
