One more try

Colleagues,

Still haven’t found five minutes?
 
Let’s take a multi-step approach:

1. Set a timer for one hour.
2. Close your door.
3. Turn off ALL notifications. All.
4. Begin working on priority tasks.

 
One of two things will happen:

1. Nothing will burn down, and you will get so much done that you will have an extra five minutes (or more)
2. Something will burn down, and you will be pulled away. In this case you have some questions to ask:
   1. Is this the same fire I put out every day?
   2. What’s the problem? Not the symptom, the problem.
   3. What is one thing that could make it a tiny bit better?

 
Reflect: With a precious five minutes a day, what could you do that would make something in your organization just a bit better?
