[Verse 1]
Thirty percent for strategy, plotting the course ahead
Thirty for people management, keeping your team well-fed
Twenty on technology, staying sharp on the trends
Twenty operations daily, where the rubber meets the ends
CTO life is juggling acts, but there's a method to the madness
Time allocation frameworks turn chaos into gladness
[Chorus]
Manage your time, manage your energy
Thirty-thirty-twenty-twenty, that's the CTO recipe
Block your calendar, delegate with clarity
Deep work morning, meetings afternoon
Information diet keeps you in tune
Time and energy, energy and time
Master both and watch your leadership shine
[Verse 2]
Calendar architecture starts with blocking deep work hours
Morning mind is sharpest when you need strategic powers
Office hours for your team, meeting-free days for focus
Routine tasks for tired times, when energy's unfocused
Guard your schedule like a fortress, but leave doors for the urgent
Structure serves your vision when priorities are divergent
[Chorus]
Manage your time, manage your energy
Thirty-thirty-twenty-twenty, that's the CTO recipe
Block your calendar, delegate with clarity
Deep work morning, meetings afternoon
Information diet keeps you in tune
Time and energy, energy and time
Master both and watch your leadership shine
[Bridge]
What only you can do, keep close and execute
What others do better, delegate and distribute
What adds no value, eliminate and substitute
Three buckets for decisions, makes delegation absolute
Curate your inputs, avoid the information flood
Stay current but not drowning in the data crud
[Verse 3]
Energy ebbs and flows throughout your working day
Strategy needs peak hours, don't give those away
When you're running low on fuel, switch to simple tasks
Review and respond to emails, check off easy asks
Know your rhythm, ride the waves of mental clarity
Time management's just half, energy's the key
[Chorus]
Manage your time, manage your energy
Thirty-thirty-twenty-twenty, that's the CTO recipe
Block your calendar, delegate with clarity
Deep work morning, meetings afternoon
Information diet keeps you in tune
Time and energy, energy and time
Master both and watch your leadership shine
[Outro]
From chaos comes the order when you learn to orchestrate
Time and energy together, that's what makes a leader great
