Reset days
I blocked off my entire calendar today to give myself a “reset day”. I had done my best to get caught up on everything on Monday despite the holiday and was hoping to get caught up on my to-do list on Tuesday.
Unfortunately, I spent most of the day in calls and meetings. My checklist only grew bigger and I wasn’t even able to get to the most important thing I wanted to do. The writing was on the wall that I needed a day to catch-up on things.
These reset days are great for me as it gives me most of the day to solely focus on getting work done. I’ve moved or canceled nearly all my meetings except that pesky one hour of calls that I need to do.
I feel good and excited to get through everything. Note to self to schedule more of these reset days in the future when things get too crazy.
