Ding! Brrrp. Whistle, ring.

​Today’s email is an adaptation from my Leading from Home video series produced in the first days of the global shutdown in 2020. Although geared towards home, the suggestions are just as critical in our “normal” workspace.
​Day 4: Communications
Ding! Brrrp. Whistle, ring. 
 
Communications clutter is one of the most destructive and unnecessary elements of our work environment. Uncluttered communications look like this:
  • You are unavailable when you are doing work that requires focus and reflection.
  • You are unavailable when you are present with another person.
  • You resist temptations to check communications when you are engaged in either of the above.
  • When unavailable, all of your communication alerts are off (hidden and silenced).
 
Why do we disallow ourselves to be unavailable? 
  • Haven’t thought about it. You have now!
  • Don’t know how to unclutter. There are tips in the video!
  • Being unavailable is an unavoidable luxury. That is certainly possible, but may also be a false narrative you have created. Some problematic self-narratives, which I break down in the video:
    • I need to be available 24/7 for emergencies
    • My availability demonstrates my priorities
    • My response time shows I am conscientious and dedicated
    • I need to know what’s going on
 
You can view a video that expands on this content at my YouTube channel here or my website here.
 
Cheers!
