Grant Writing Made Clear

In this episode of Grant Writing Made Clear, Dr. Trenette challenges the culture of constant busyness and explores why strategic focus leads to deeper impact. She breaks down the hidden costs of overcommitting and provides practical tools for protecting your most important work.

Barriers to Focused Work

• People-pleasing and its impact on decision-making
• False urgency culture 
• Administrative accumulation over time

Practical Focus Strategies

1. Mission-Driven Filtering: Creating a concrete mission statement to guide decisions
2. Environmental Planning: Designing physical and digital spaces for deep work
3. Strategic Subtraction: The "subtract two for every new yes" rule
4. Boundary Scripts: Graceful ways to decline requests
