In this practical and thought-provoking episode, Erick explores how adopting themes for your days can help you create structure, margin, and momentum in your life.
As part of the Rise Above Chaos system, Principle #2 — Tame the Beast — teaches the importance of building systems. Erick shares how one simple concept from his “Seven Elements of the Perfect Day” can transform the way you manage your time and energy: element number seven — build systems.
Drawing inspiration from Dr. John C. Maxwell, Franklin Covey, and Michael Hyatt, Erick shares how he’s applied the practice of daily themes to regain control, reduce reactivity, and focus on what matters most. From designating meeting days to reserving creative days, he reveals how intentional structure brings freedom and peace of mind.
In this episode, you’ll discover:- Why building systems creates margin and helps you think more clearly
- How assigning themes to your days increases rhythm and focus
- Real-life examples of how Erick structures his week (internal Mondays, external Tuesdays/Thursdays, creative Wednesdays)
- How tools like Calendly can help protect your schedule
- Why breaking your work into Pomodoro sessions boosts energy and productivity
- How intentional rhythms help you “tame the beast” and rise above chaos
Whether you’re overwhelmed by a packed schedule or just looking to fine-tune your productivity, this episode will show you how small, repeatable systems can lead to big breakthroughs.
