Ep 34 - Designing Your Work Week (and calendar) Around Energy, Not Just Availability

In this episode of Lead the Room, Briony and Lyndsey discuss why traditional productivity approaches fail high-performing teams and share a game-changing framework for designing your work week around energy rather than availability. They expose the hidden costs of calendar-driven leadership and demonstrate how intentional energy management transforms both individual performance and team culture. Through personal stories of international team leadership and practical 15-minute strategies, they show how the best leaders align their most important work with their moments of peak capacity, creating sustainable excellence without burnout.

Key Takeaways:

Energy Tracking Unlocks Peak Performance: High-performing leaders track their energy, focus, and mood patterns throughout each day rather than simply filling calendar gaps. This data becomes the blueprint for calendar design, ensuring strategic work happens during high-energy zones while routine tasks are scheduled for natural low-energy periods.
Energy Blocking Prevents Calendar Hijacking: Top leaders proactively block their high-energy periods for critical work before others can claim them. By treating these energy blocks as non-negotiable as client meetings, they protect their capacity for the deep thinking and creative problem-solving that transforms teams.
Strategic Energy Negotiation Drives Results: When schedule flexibility is required, successful leaders negotiate based on energy needs rather than simply accepting meetings. They educate colleagues about energy-based productivity and create trades that maintain both organizational needs and personal effectiveness, leading to better outcomes for everyone involved.
