How to be Effective?

// Random Thread //
=> Lead, don’t manage <=

Be proactive rather than reactive. “Lead” yourself as opposed to “manage” a situation.

You need to think of yourself as a producer and a leader driving value, not as a manager.

Calling yourself a manager implies some level of reactivity.
=> Focus on inputs <=

Spend time judging your inputs,

i.e. the quality of ideas,

not on whether you can be more creative

but how much stuff you create.
=> Spend time on high leverage activities <=

Do things that have the most impact.

Preparing one thing that affects many,

like everything,

or do one thing with a lot of impact on one person (you),

like a performance review.
=> Optimize your most valuable resource, your time <=

Actively manage your calendar

and audit it by categorizing how you spend your time.

Is it on top priorities?

Is it on high leverage activities?

Focus on the limiting step.
