So what CAN we do about it?
1. Automate (this Harvard Business Review article features plenty of tools for you to try out)
2. Outsource (think of the real value of your time; if a task is less expensive than your earning potential in that time, you know the answer: OUTSOURCE NOW)
3. Use asynchronous communication (i.e. deal with requests when it suits you rather than instantly)
4. Stop treating all decisions like big decisions (act fast, most decisions are reversible)
5. Try task bundling (make those longer phone calls while you power walk; listen to a podcast on your way to work etc)
6. Drop the 60 min mtg time when 15 or 30 would do. We’re all guilty as charged!
We’ll be honest, we can’t help with it all but when it comes to communication and connecting your teams, your brand and customers, let Activate Events take care of Strategic Communication & Virtual Events! That’s one job done! And more strategic time returned to you. We told you we’ll make you rich in no time!
