Stop "Maximizing Every Minute." Here’s What Actually Drives Results.

Somewhere along the way, "maximize every minute" became the rally cry of productivity.

👉 Fill your calendar.
👉 Squeeze in another call.
👉 Stack tasks like Jenga blocks.

It sounds ambitious.
But it’s a myth. And a dangerous one.

High performers don’t maximize minutes. They maximize momentum.

• They batch work to protect their energy.

• They build in buffer zones to handle the unexpected.

• They focus on big moves, not busywork.

Maximizing every minute leads to burnout. Maximizing momentum leads to breakthroughs.

Choose wisely.
