Too many things on your to-do list. Inbox zero? Elusive. Meetings: back to back. Someone’s crisis that isn’t really a crisis? Likely got one of those, too.
There may be many things vying for your attention - but only a precious few that actually deserve it - including things that you haven’t yet dared to name for fear of never being able to touch them.
Why?
Because there are only a few things on the list - or emails or meetings - that only you can do.Only you because of:
Your position, role or decision-making power
Your perspective
Your skill set
Your relationships and level of trust
Your willingness to broach the tough stuff and name what you see from where you sit
The other stuff? It’s still there, and… delegation and empowering others to act without hoops is a beautiful thing.
Commit to stepping into the work that is really yours. Find ways to let the rest go.
