Well-Oiled Machine | Prepared for Every Possibility

from Office Hours with David Meltzer

In today’s episode, Nic Glazer and I break down how preparation kept an unpredictable trip to New York from becoming a complete disaster. I share why I keep duplicate chargers, toiletries, snacks, tea, and travel essentials permanently packed, along with how I choose airports, flights, drivers, and schedules around every possible outcome. When weather turned a five-hour flight into an 11-hour ordeal, staying flexible helped me protect my energy, remain productive, and adjust dinner plans without frustration taking over. We also discuss the difference between being busy and being active, available, accessible, and productive, especially when communicating priorities and making the most of unexpected time.
