So I started a new Instagram account: @deacon_on_ops ... I often found that trying to balance between personal & business sharing I wound up doing fewer of each.
.
So I fixed it.
.
Now I have THIS account for all the stuff you’re already used to seeing…
.
And @deacon_on_ops where I can go a bit deeper on business & marketing stuff. After all, our agency spends millions on Facebook & Instagram every month so there’s SO MUCH business insights to share…
.
And as an executive dealing with work life balance, productivity, scaling, and building a team, I wanted someplace I could share more on those topics with fewer “🙄” comments .
.
So here’s the deal…
.
If you’re interested in scaling businesses online, please follow me here -> @deacon_on_ops .
And if you’re not, let’s keep hanging out HERE

Tuesdays are my toughest day for focus. I try to batch as many weekly meetings as I can on Tuesdays (currently 4 team calls & 3 1:1s).
.
The most important thing for me to maintain high performance on a day with 7 hours of meetings is focusing on my ENERGY levels (not time blocks).
.
Success in today's calls started yesterday.
.
And although it was way later than I generally care to exercise (or even be out of bed, hah), getting a workout in on Monday night was actually a key component of making Tuesday successful.
.
Manage your ENERGY, not your time. Regular exercise is just one of the many simple ways to do that.
.
And if you're too busy for a full workout today, then go for a 30+ minute walk. It's spring afterall!

I took this picture a few weeks back at a lake house on Lake Washington. This lake is right in the middle of Seattle, you can see Mt. Rainier on the horizon. Water is clean & clear. It's AMAZING.

I was here for a strategic business meeting (which actually took place at the end of the dock!) with some friends and partners, and we spent the day working out a better way to work together.
The point is NOT how cool this view is or how amazing this lake house was, or even how cool this particular day of my life was (look at me! hah)… The point is this would never have happened without two ingredients, intentionally applied over and over and over:

  1. The people I met (hint: hang out where the high performers are hanging out. Events are great for this). 2. The books I read and courses I took (hint 2: you're only 5 books away from being an expert in ANY topic!). If you want different results. Change those two things, and things will change.” target=”_blank”>

Workspace upgrade: added a 28" monitor (alongside the 27" iMac). One thing I've always taken very seriously is my workspace. I'm quick to spend on things that will add to comfort & productivity. As a result I'm totally at home and happy at my desk. 
Before the monitor upgrade I converted the whole desk to a sit/stand desk by adding a frame from Uplift Desk (just slapped my existing desktop on the Uplift Desk frame!). Working from home is a wonderful blessing!
