Track the time you spend doing specific tasks, attending meetings, responding to emails, reading slack, interacting with clients, doing team building activities.
Track track track and use it to fight against unrealistic expectations!!!!
I know precisely the time it takes me to do certain tasks. When I do a task I’ve never done before, I time it. When I am asked to take on an unrealistic amount of work, I communicate the time it takes me to do each task and do the simple calculations to show why it’s not mathematically possible to accomplish that in a work week.
Protect your time!
