Why is it that our to-do lists for work keep growing and never shrink?
Especially as a manager, I’ve gotten used to the deeply unsettling idea that you can only do one thing a day well, or three things half-assed. I hate this constraint (as someone who begins my workday with five new ideas of how to make things better for the team or company), but it’s true.
As I’ve gotten older in ‘leader years’, my biggest area of growth has been in learning to predict what I can and can’t get to, and what I can delegate. Figuring out what to delegate isn’t easy, and usually, by the time you need to work it out, you’re already overwhelmed and on the path to burnout.
