When I was appointed to my first CEO role in 2001 I had no idea how I was going to keep up with the demands. I had many direct reports, a Board of Directors to report to and everyone wanting a piece of you. There had to be a way to get control of what was going on in my life. I dug deep into learning ways to control my schedule and not let it control me. We all have the same amount of time. There is always time to get things done and have some fun.
