Running around like crazy? Take time to think and prepare and you will find yourself with time, focus and a feeling of accomplishment.
- Post your schedule on your door or have it available via Outlook. Your team should always know the realities of your schedule and priorities.
- Plan open space in your day for the unknowns that come up. They always do.
- Block time twice a week for open door time. Just come on in the office visits. This should be available all of the time, but scheduling lets your team know that it’s important to respect when deadlines are on the table.
- If you’re out of breath on a crazy day, you have to take 5 minutes and stop. Your chaos causes unrest in the team and will put them on edge with your clients and customers.
