Eisenhower’s Decision Principle inspired Covey’s Quadrant, so using the quadrant system and playing air traffic controller for a Monday’s many to-dos is paying homage to two lucid thinkers and gifted leaders. Or, if you don’t feel comfortable deleting Slack, then only check it twice a day the same way you do email. I like that thought.

Access to email means your boss can find you wherever, whenever. Throw in collaboration and communication tools like Slack, workflow managers, chat, text, *gasp* the phone… and the idea of unplugging becomes downright laughable.

The people leader role can also be stressful. Burnout is a state of physical, mental or emotional exhaustion caused by long-term exposure to stress. As well, it’s always a good idea to budget more time and resources to a project than you think is necessary to lessen the stress of unexpected setbacks. Set boundaries.

However, many people run around stressed because they’re saying yes to everybody but themselves. Don’t answer the phone or e-mail. Even if we can use this word with our spouse and children, we still have a hard time saying it to other people. It’s important to learn how and when to say no.

Then, you’re back in the office after a long unplanned break: the message light on the phone is blinking; both your e-mail and hard-copy in-boxes are overflowing; last week’s next actions are now overdue; you staff and my manager all want a piece of you; and you just want to go home a crawl back into bed.

The cards are all made with recycled paper and you can even include a gift if you like and this company will send it off for you. I recently sent an admin assistant friend a card to acknowledge all the hard work she does every day and included a gift of brownies. I sent another assistant a comical card about being stressed out at work.

It would be easy to take on a task yourself, but also stressful. Follow-up does not mean frequent phone calls, emails, meetings, or standing over someone’s shoulder.

I opened the phone book and signed up with every single one in town. The amount of skill, pressure, stress, and problem solving differs at each of those levels. I’m calling and leaving messages everywhere, via email too. Since we don’t work with this office it’s not like we have cell phone numbers and home numbers for anyone.

We can’t hear a person’s voice when we read an email. I learned the fine art of diplomacy and gift-wrapping. Don’t overdo it and come off like some excited Valley Girl squeezing all over, but use exclamation marks here and there to stress that you’re feeling upbeat. Read emails aloud – with a smile.

It’s like stage stress, before walking up on a TV show or a big opening act. I received a personal email from Simon the next day, in which he said he would put the CD in the mail that day, and he also said that he was happy to hear from me because it gave him fond memories of a visit he’d taken to Canada.
