Summary

Most leaders consider time their most important resource. As a result, they completely ignore the true source of their productivity—their energy!

I’ll show you how to match peak energy to your most important work so that you can be more productive than ever before. For more information, visit leadto.win. Presented by LeaderBox.

0:59.7	One reason was that they overestimated how far they could drive on empty.
1:03.0	And some were too concerned about being late or spending too much on gas.
1:07.0	More than half of the drivers reported passing up a gas station trying to find a lower price.
1:12.0	More than two-thirds said they never fill their

1:24.4	than running out of gas, but running out of gas can be expensive. Besides making you
1:30.3	walk to the nearest exit, it can damage your car's fuel pump, which means a costly repair.
1:35.7	And all of this begs an obvious question, what is your most important resource, time or fuel.
