The wasted time in trying to decide what to do next will ruin any attempt at a really productive day. There will always be new inputs that must be compared to what is already on the schedule. Some things need to be delayed and others moved to the top of the list. Dan Reiland is a great leader:
“Have you ever come to the end of your workday, or even a workweek, and asked yourself, “What did I accomplish?” You know you showed up, went to meetings, worked hard, but somehow, sometimes, wonder if you really accomplished much.
You are not alone. The good news is that there is something you can do about it.”
