Put simply, the most important things are to know what to focus on and how you are going to get it done. I call this always knowing your most important task, or MIT.

Don't accept speaking opportunities if you can't justify them as benefitting your users or your company.
After identifying your MIT, you need to turn it into a calendar item and book it as early in your day as possible.
that most people are most productive and have the highest cognitive functioning in the first two hours after they’re fully awake.
the propensity of people to spend the two most productive hours of their day on things that don't require high cognitive capacity (like social media).
first part of your day working on your number one priority that will help build your business.
Do creative work first. Reactive work second.
Autopilot Your Business.
Identify your Most Important Task (MIT) and work on it each day before doing anything else.
Highly successful people don’t have a to-do list, but they do have a very well-kept calendar.
Use a calendar and schedule your entire day into 15-minute blocks. It sounds like a pain, but this will set you up in the 95th percentile as far as organization goes. If it's not on the calendar, it doesn't get done. If it's on the calendar, it gets done no matter what. Use this not just for appointments, but workouts, calls, email blocks, etc.
