3 Lessons After Meeting with Mentors

Erik Libby Episode 42

After five mentor sessions, I committed to morning deep-work sprints and uncovered three key insights:

  • It always takes longer than you plan (Hofstadter’s Law in action)
  • A cleared calendar is the fastest route to focus
  • Big projects demand big time blocks

Plus a look at how a trusted team lets you disappear into focus work without everything else falling apart. No fluff—just practical steps to carve out uninterrupted time and tackle your most important priorities.
