In today’s episode are you finding it difficult to get things done? Finding it tough to find thinking time to get at the thoughtful work on your plate or properly manage your people?

Are you feeling awful about it? Then, you are not alone.

Today, we are going to look at how we can manage our day more effectively so that we can be more productive, more in control of our lives, and stay more joyful.

“The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them.”

George Bernard Shaw

“Man is not the creature of circumstances, circumstances are the creatures of men. We are free agents, and man is more powerful than matter.”

Benjamin Disraeli

If you're new to the Last 8% Morning, over the course of 15 minutes we integrate movement, mindfulness, and mental training exercises. Why? So we can build the skills necessary to be our best in our more difficult moments, what we call the Last 8%. What are these skills? These are skills of emotional intelligence. Why? We do this because it is emotion that gets in our way.
