CEO Health Management: Why the 'Calendar' Is More Important Than Wearable Devices
Many business leaders and executives spend significant amounts of money on the latest wearable devices and expensive supplements to maintain their health. However, experts point out that checking one's "calendar" is more important than technology when it comes to accurately understanding one's health status.
Why is the calendar so important? It is because a person's schedule clearly reveals their sleep duration, the quality of their rest, and their workload. No matter how advanced a watch is at measuring heart rate, one cannot maintain health if they are not getting enough rest due to an overcrowded schedule.
Many CEOs tend to prioritize work commitments and put their own self-care on the back burner. Experts recommend pre-scheduling "rest time" within the calendar. Avoiding an overpacked schedule is the key to maintaining long-term performance.
There is nothing wrong with relying on the latest devices for health management. However, reviewing how you spend your time is arguably the most effective and economical health measure you can take. In the midst of a busy daily life, it is important to make time to objectively review your own schedule.
