In this episode, let's discuss what to do when everyone wants your time, so you struggle to find time to dig into the strategic, big-picture work that you know is important. We talk about: Some of my more standard advice—like shutting your door for a focus block or going dark on Slack What to try if those tactics aren't working for you Why it might make sense to "take a day off" (or 1/2 or 3/4 day off) ... and then not actually take it off & use it for strategic work. If you're in a leadership role and feel like you're constantly putting out fires but never getting to that higher-level strategic thinking, I really hope this helps. This episode is designed to help you protect time for that work—so your time use actually matches the leadership role you're in.
