Covered in this episode:

• 
  
• In my ideal day, I’ve already gotten two hours of work in & a workout before I hit the office. - @TMNinja Tweet!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src='//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,'script','twitter-wjs'); Buffertweetable text <- Click to tweet
  
• Getting stuff done before the rest of the world is up is a great momentum to carry into your day. - @TMNinja Tweet!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src='//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,'script','twitter-wjs'); Buffertweetable text <- Click to tweet
  
• Productivity is about getting done what’s most important to you in the face of everything life will throw at you during the day.
  
• Defend your time
  
• Just because the phone is ringing doesn’t mean you need to answer it. - @TMNinja Tweet!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src='//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,'script','twitter-wjs'); Buffertweetable text <- Click to tweet
  
• Choose the right medium for the message
  
• Set expectations with your team
  
• Don’t spend so much time cultivating a to do list that you don’t take action. - @TMNinja Tweet!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src='//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,'script','twitter-wjs'); Buffertweetable text <- Click to tweet
  
• Time management should be saving you time, not taking your time. - @TMNinja Tweet!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src='//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,'script','twitter-wjs'); Buffertweetable text <- Click to tweet
  
• It’s not about one app being the ultimate solution. Pick the app that suits your style and needs. - @TMNinja Tweet!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src='//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,'script','twitter-wjs'); Buffertweetable text <- Click to tweet
  
• It’s not so much about the tool, as much as its’ ability to fit your lifestyle. - @TMNinja Tweet!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src='//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,'script','twitter-wjs'); Buffertweetable text <- Click to tweet
  
• Choose the tools that you’ll actually use. - @TMNinja Tweet!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src='//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,'script','twitter-wjs'); Buffertweetable text <- Click to tweet
  
• If you have the best to do list in the world but never touch it because it’s too complicated, it’s not going to help you out.
