At Your Best: How to Get Time, Energy, and Priorities Working in Your Favor

Carey Nieuwhof addresses why calendars often fail to reflect priorities and offers strategies to regain control. The book targets people caught in cycles of being overwhelmed, overcommitted, and overworked—patterns many adopt believing they're necessary for success. Nieuwof, an influential podcast host and thought leader, draws on his own experience with burnout to present an approach for aligning time, energy, and priorities. He claims this method freed up more than one thousand productive hours annually for him. The book covers replacing chronic exhaustion with deep productivity, breaking patterns of overpromising, clarifying priorities through restructured daily routines, learning to decline requests without damaging relationships, understanding why vacations and sabbaticals don't solve underlying problems, and developing a personalized plan to escape endless to-do lists. The goal is to help readers thrive both professionally and personally by living sustainably today while building toward future success.
