In today's final season episode I reflected how it feels when you have a list as long as your arm and are losing motivation to attack it by the second...
 
My 6 Step Reflection Process should help you to rationalise your task list. As promised I have listed this here in the show notes so that you can refer back if it was useful:
 


List out all of the things that are on your mind to do


Consider which ones are important. Go through each one and ask yourself - WHY is this important? And how time sensitive it is?


Notice any patterns. Do any of these tasks stem from a particular person or department? Is it possible a change in process could reduce these in future? Is there a better way of doing any of these?


Similarly, when looking for a pattern, consider if any of these seem to always be hanging around. Is it possible there are particular tasks you avoid because you aren't confident/competent? Could getting some additional support or training help?


Reflect on if you have offered to do any of these. Could any of these have been avoided? (Be honest...)


Delegation. Could anyone else do these tasks or is it essential you do them? If so, why - and how has it become like this?

I shared 3 reasons personal integrity is important in your career, and 3 ways that having integrity can help build your confidence.

In today's episode I shared some thoughts around how we can implement some of the best productivity hacks to prioritise what needs to be done. It can feel so overwhelming when we have a lot to do at work and it feels like it is just piling up. My words of wisdom for today? "Every YES is a NO to something else"
