Do something that grows the business or grows you.

 

1. Review your to-do list and highlight what’s truly mission-critical. If it doesn’t move the business forward, it’s stealing your time.

2. Identify one task you’re doing just to feel productive. Cut it and replace it with something that grows the business or grows you.

3. Ask yourself where your current strategy is taking you in the next 6 to 12 months. If you don’t like the destination, change the route.

4. Replace one low-impact task this week with 30 minutes of high-level thinking. Block it, protect it, and use it to realign.
