Have you ever noticed how much you achieve the week before you go on holiday?
For many years I thought it was purely because I came in earlier and went home later, having given this further consideration I realised that yes I did add some extra hours to my working week however what I was actually doing was becoming a more effective leader and in doing so preparing for a holiday was no longer such a shock to the system!
Each month for at least one day I started to imagine I was going on holiday the next day (nice thought sun, sea and palm trees) I started to think more creatively about how to get things done in less time and by doing so grow time for myself.
These are some of the questions I started to ask myself:
It’s not about delegating more it is thinking about how you can do things differently, by doing different things.
Try it for yourself – treat one day a month as if you are going on holiday the next day, you will be amazed about how much you achieve and how much it will empower and develop others what’s more you will most definitely grow time for yourself!
