He speaks on the following subtopics: the importance of planning out one’s day; identifying priorities and getting the top 3 done each day;  taking time to get things done without any distractions - the benefits of single tasking as opposed to multi-tasking; the attention space in one’s brain; the importance of meditation; focusing on the important as opposed to the urgent; the importance of measurement; and lastly project orientation vs outcome orientation and when to use each.
