Have you ever had a day that felt productive, but once you look back at the day’s accomplishments, you realize you were unproductive?
I’ve felt that a lot over the past couple of weeks. I have been finishing work, feeling busy, and getting tasks done. Then when I look back, I realize a lot of the work was busy work or meetings. There weren’t meaningful or significant tasks. I push those off and instead end up feeling burnt out or unproductive.
The chart I put together helped me gather what I need to focus on, delegate out, and schedule or delete.
It’s simple. It’s a framework that’s overall easy to remember.
The workday has changed a lot over the past year plus a couple of months since we left offices for Covid. I felt optimistic and knew it would be a journey. In the beginning, I struggled with Zoom fatigue and team communication. Those have become afterthoughts as we are all pros at virtual meetings and overcommunicating on Slack and PM software. Now, I am ensuring I spend time on the right tasks and not stuck in meetings or doing email all day.
