Travis had too many important things hanging at the end of the day. Your responses were helpful and from different angles.
There was a recommendation for a book, Getting Things Done, delegation and identifying “time eaters.”
One insightful idea had to do with segmenting larger projects into smaller pieces. Travis may find it easier to complete small pieces over a couple of days rather than avoiding the large daunting project that looms on his schedule.
Gail gets the book Power of Attitude by Mac Anderson for her explanation of reserving uninterrupted quiet time. As a Manager what impact can you have on your Key Result Areas if you had just one hour of uninterrupted time each week? What if you had two hours each week?
What if you had two hours each day?
Gail has some great ideas. Read her entire response along with the rest of the comments. Good stuff. -TF
