Hi Friend
Welcome to your weekly dose of personal and career fuel
Look at your calendar right now. If it looks like a Tetris game of back to back meetings, you have a problem.
You think you are being productive. You think you are essential. Let let me be blunt. You are hiding.
Filling your day with status updates, alignment syncs, and steering committees is just a socially acceptable way to avoid doing actual, heavy, strategic work. It is comfortable. It feels safe to sit in a room, nod your head, and look important.
It is much harder to sit by yourself with a blank document and solve a complex business problem.
We have turned busyness into a badge of honor. It is not. It is a defence mechanism. If you are in meetings for eight hours a day, you have a built-in excuse for why you aren't moving the big projects forward. You are letting the calendar run your career.
Let's do something about it.
