How To Take Action

I would suggest implementing some of the actionable strategies we discussed to improve both personal and business productivity. Start by creating two-week sprints for projects. This helps keep focus and allows space to tackle unexpected tasks without feeling overwhelmed. Everything should have its designated time in these sprints, helping you manage your energy and tasks effectively.

Implement a cadence of accountability with daily check-ins. This helps everyone stay on track and motivated. You can apply this to teams or even to yourself, checking what was accomplished and what needs doing each day.

Focus on identifying one core task that pushes your business forward. For me, recruiting top talent was that task, so I dedicated a chunk of my day to it. Determine what that singular focus is for your business or personal growth and allocate time daily for this.

Create tomorrow today by planning the next day every evening. It prevents waking up feeling lost and helps maintain a clear direction for your tasks.

Consider block-scheduling in two-week periods and having specific buffer days, like a blocked-off Friday for planning and reflection. It ensures you have time to catch up without stress bleeding into your weekends.

Lastly, teach effective assistance-seeking by framing requests clearly, like "Could you please help me understand…?" This encourages communication without affecting self-esteem and builds a culture of support and problem-solving.
