Don't confuse organizing for working

8/9/2022

Colleagues,

MVP: It is very easy to spend time organizing without helping anyone or improving your organization.
 
Every Monday I start the week by organizing it. I check to-do items from my last leadership meeting, check my project documents, my reminder list, etc…  I then, somehow, wind up trying to “catch up” on all my communications, which have somehow grown exponentially over the past couple of months. 
 
Last Monday I spent several hours organizing my work for the week.
 
I did get some things done, but nothing that helped me grow anyone or move my organization forward. 
 
Were there some pieces that will pay dividends? Yes.
 
Did I spend too much time organizing? Yes.
 
It is okay to be organized, it is essential to be organized, but remember – getting organized, by itself, doesn’t help you grow people or become a better leader.
 
Cheers!
 
Frederick
