The Bright Method Podcast: Realistic Time Management and Productivity for Working Women & Working Moms

106. Protecting Strategy / Big-Picture Time From the Urgent: A Potentially Novel Way to Do It


Listen Later

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.
