"Despite the proliferation of productivity tools, performance frameworks, and time management hacks, many leaders still end their days feeling overwhelmed and mentally spent."
"The cause isn't always workload."
"Through research for my books and my work as a neuroscience-led consultant supporting global organizations and partnering with universities, I've found that often it's how they're using their brains."
Many leaders end their days overwhelmed and mentally spent despite widespread use of productivity tools, performance frameworks, and time-management hacks. Mental exhaustion often stems less from sheer workload and more from how leaders use their brains, including attention allocation, decision fatigue, and ineffective cognitive strategies. Neuroscience-led consulting with global organizations and university partnerships shows that optimizing cognitive habits, aligning tasks with natural cognitive rhythms, and redesigning work practices can reduce depletion. Targeted interventions that change brain-based behaviors and recovery patterns produce more sustainable performance gains than simply adding more tools or stricter schedules.
