This time is reserved on their calendars and they honor it. They didn’t come out of a vacuum or from thin air. They’re based on current projects and prioritizing. They commit time to doing things. They aren’t using “free time” or spontaneously deciding to knock off a few hours of work.

Having the calls on his calendar gave more structure to the timeline. It also encourages me to put tasks on the calendar and complete them because I’ve given myself a reason that they should happen now, not next month or next year or sometime in the future. Those are the times to schedule a virtual team member call.

Here’s Kelly’s first step: First, I knew the morning I got back to work I’d have about 6x more input than normal, so I blocked that extra time on my calendar to give myself the time I would need to get it processed.

It’s like putting a big X mark through the day on your wall calendar. Enthusiasm might also be a bit of a perfectionist and that further hampers his eagerness to keep at it. Again, focusing on process, on action, will help a lot. You finished a day! That’s what you did! And now you’re closer to the end of the year. Keep looking forward.
