To-do’s are so distracting.
No one that I’ve ever talked to that has climbed in their career manages to-do lists. Instead they manage their time.
My new strategy is time blocking – more specifically using the time blocking strategy as my new “pseudo” to-do list.
This let’s me stay in control of my day and it works almost like a natural delegation mechanism. If it isn’t something that I can fit into my calendar than it is most likely a task that someone on my team can handle or should handle.
I have a natural inclination to just take on action items because I can and not because I’m probably the best person to take on the task.
Using this post as an accountability measure honestly. And hopefully it inspires someone to look at how they manage time.
Here’s probably the best post I’ve ever read on time blocking. Have fun 🙂
