Description

Why does everything feel urgent, but nothing truly important gets done? Senior leaders aren’t short on knowledge, they’re short on time, clarity, and control. Despite tech, automation, and AI at our fingertips, the to-do list keeps growing – and the real priorities get buried. 

Ishan unpacks why urgency has become the default and how to shift from reactive chaos to intentional action. He offers practical concepts and tips – like the Eisenhower matrix, folding time, and the 80% rule – to help you focus on what actually moves the needle. Because creating urgency isn’t the problem…creating senseless urgency is. 

Ishan mentions productivity expert Dermot Crowley and the books he’s written on the subject. They can be accessed here:
