REALLOCATE INFO

Feeling buried under meetings and requests? The key to success is knowing who to involve and when. Efficient collaborators avoid juggling too many balls. They periodically review their calendars and emails to reallocate tasks and decisions. They don’t stick to old habits out of obligation. Regular reassessment is crucial for staying efficient and keeping everything balanced.

The challenge of handling too many commitments

Review the past four months of your calendar. Spot recurring meetings or tasks you can delegate. For instance, if you’re still handling weekly check-ins that a junior team member could manage, delegate these for their growth. If it’s tough to find tasks to offload, get fresh insights from a coach or colleague.

Changing perspectives and realigning tasks

Reflect and Redirect

Look at the decisions you’re involved in. Identify routine decisions, like approving expense reports or managing daily requests, that could be shifted to others. This helps lighten your load and improves efficiency.

Focus on what truly matters

Assess and Address

Check your email and calendar for routine requests that aren’t central to your role. Delegate these to team members who are more knowledgeable or eager to handle them. This keeps you focused on your core responsibilities and avoids unnecessary time drains.
