Did the podcast release this morning?

Colleagues,

MVP: Align your tasks to your capacity – do what is easy, work when it is easy.

In theory, a podcast released at 6 am this morning. Yet I am writing this message at 10:30 am on Monday (yesterday), and I have not recorded it yet.


I can’t tell you why it isn’t done. I have the ideas, I have the time, but I go to turn on the mic and become blocked.


When these kinds of things happen, I used to just power through.


Now, I pivot.


There are lots of other important things I can be doing.


And honestly, your commute won’t be ruined because The Assistant Principal Podcast didn’t release today.


Why am I sharing this?


One way we can maximize the impact of our leadership is to do the work we are primed to do. If I am energetic and optimistic, that’s a great time to meet with and coach people. If I’m in need of quiet and not feeling creative, maybe that’s the day I dig out of my email hole.


We can’t always choose what gets done when, but most of us have more options than we realize.

Cheers!

Frederick
