January 18, 2023 (Others’ time)

One of my favorite things is when I am inspired in a place I wasn't expecting. After the holidays every year, I tend to pick up a book about habits, productivity, or organization.

As leaders, we influence the time of others in a lot of ways:

• Assignments

• Meetings (Attending/being late for)

• Tasks

We can often "launch and forget" things that might have been relevant at one point but are no longer being utilized. We might also consciously or unconsciously be taking others' time in ways that aren't valuable or aiding the mission of your organization.

This week, reflect on the quote from Gretchen Rubin, and:
