In our drive to get things done, we often leap into action. But best practices would say, “Pause. Breathe. Look. Leap.” Do daily and weekly check-ins on our own work and with our teams. Then get into action. Do deep monthly, quarterly, and annual planning for ourselves, our careers, with our families, and with our teams. Then get into action.
If it feels like it will take too long to do daily and weekly reviews–or monthly, quarterly, and annual planning–we probably need them more than we think.
In your corner,
