Managing our calendars and our work-life balance are things that we each need to take personal responsibility for even though we often feel that we cannot say no to things we are asked to do. As a leader with a great team in place that always finds a way to deliver, I am guilty of piling projects on them because I have such confidence in their abilities to perform. Advancements in technology create an artificial sense of urgency and an unrealistic obligation to respond in our personal and professional lives. And yes, I'm guilty of strongly considering reaching for my phone if it vibrates on the nightstand even after bedtime.
I shared the attached article entitled "The Sanctity of Your Calendar" with our team this week and asked them for their take. I frequently share items I find with members of our team and the response to this article has generated more buzz than others I've sent. This confirms that calendar management and work-life balance are top of mind for many of us.
I hope you enjoy this article and feel free to share your thoughts with us.
