Do you take a time out? Creating space to think is more important than imagined. Perhaps you are saying, “I don’t have time for that!” Well, the biggest gift you can give yourself is allowing yourself time off. Because if we do so, we allow ourselves to establish clarity and execute more effectively. In this episode, I present the dangers of keeping everyone (including yourself!) busy all the time – one thing is that it takes the opportunity for enjoyment away.
In this episode:
- I highlight the busyness of work and how we miss opportunities and don’t create opportunities.
- I discuss the tactics for taking on deliberate actions by allowing oneself to think first. I break down the benefits of taking the time off.
Key Takeaways:
- Saying “I don’t have time.” is just an excuse
- You deserve the space and room for you to think
- Giving yourself time out allows more control
- People we work with also need time to think during the week
- Create the space to help the message get across and establish clarity
- People in the organizations feel respected when given space to think and speak
