You've reached the end of Module 3. These are the ideas to carry forward.

Key takeaways

Professionalism is a pattern, not a performance. It's being someone people can count on, including owning it when things go wrong.
Priorities first, schedule second. Name your Musts before you touch the calendar, and leave white space for real life.
Protect your best hour. Put your most important work where your energy is highest, and put the phone out of reach.
Multitasking is really task-switching. Every switch has a cost. Noticing it is the first step to protecting your focus.
Manage your energy, not just your time. Know which of your five batteries is lowest, and do one small thing about it before it runs out.
Your brain is the one you have. Learn how it works, use strategies that fit it, and reach out for support when you need it.

Reflect

Think about the week ahead. What's one small change you'll make to how you plan your time or protect your energy, and how will you know if it's working?

That's Module 3.
