Day 5: Renewal

​This is the final email adaptation from my Leading from Home video series produced in the first days of the global shutdown in 2020. 

Day 5: Renewal

Three work practices that can help renew you…
 
Creating 1-2 priority goals focuses your work. These are separate from your to-do list but take priority over it. You can also identify the 1-2 things you need to do to call the day a win.
 
Engaging in uninterrupted focus work. Here are the benefits:

• Helps you achieve flow state, which aids relaxation, satisfaction, and mood.
• Increases your productivity.
• Focus work almost always involves strategic work which helps you lead your organization as opposed to simply managing it.

 
Developing other people’s skills is a renewal activity because:

• It demands your full presence and focus (see flow state).

• It enhances your relationship with the other person.
• It increases the sense that you are making a positive difference.

 
This content was designed to help us transition to leading from home, but I have republished it because it still feels so relevant. All the videos and more are on my website here.
 
Reflect:

• What resonated with you this week?
• What is one thing you can take away?
• What is one ide worth sharing with someone else?

 
Cheers!
