A top Pepsi exec says he organizes every hour of his day in a color-coded pie chart and audits it to ensure he's efficient

Ram Krishnan, CEO of PepsiCo Beverages North America, emphasizes the importance of organizing time intentionally. By using a pie chart for his schedule, he focuses on key areas and regularly audits his priorities to ensure a balanced allocation of his time.

"Every other month, we audit and see how am I spending my time and do I need to course correct. It's more about by the end of the year, how do you hopefully get to a healthy balance," said Krishnan, highlighting his proactive approach to time management.

Krishnan elaborated on his time management strategy, stating, "I have four or five buckets about how I manage time," which include running the business, focusing on people and culture, long-term strategy, learning, and relationships.

When discussing achieving balance in his time management, Krishnan acknowledged that it's unrealistic to split time evenly. He stated, "I don't think you're going to get to a perfect 20-20-20%. What you want to be aware of is, 'Oh, I didn't realize...'"
