This lesson from Yale's Connected Leadership course, taught by Peter Boyd, moves from big-picture life planning into the practical mechanics of a single day. Boyd presents strategies for translating a one-page life plan into daily scheduling decisions, with particular attention to managing personal energy alongside raw time. He addresses the common problem of absorbing other people's urgent demands, sometimes called handling other people's pebbles, and offers techniques for shifting between reactive and proactive modes of work. The lecture is practical and tool-oriented rather than theoretical, aimed at leaders who already understand their priorities but struggle to protect time for them against daily interruptions and competing obligations from teams and stakeholders.
