Ever keep rolling the same task week after week? You see it on your list or flagged in your inbox, and every time you look at it, you feel that little wave of guilt. In this episode, I share how slow-rolling tasks—sometimes unintentionally, sometimes on purpose—can actually work in your favor.
I share a story from my early law career that taught me how some tasks lose relevance over time and how checking in before tackling them can save hours of unnecessary work. We also talk about how "slow-rolling" helps when you work for a shiny-object boss—or when you're your own. Instead of reacting to every new idea, give it breathing space. Let excitement cool, check your calendar, and make more grounded decisions about priorities.
This episode is about using slow-rolling as a time management strategy to:
Reassess stale tasks before spending time on them, and
Protect focus from shiny-object overload
When you use slow-rolling strategically, you reduce stress, reclaim focus, and make smarter choices about where your time goes.
