Lynn was tapped to head up the project team for a major company restructuring. Yet, given the importance of this project, his casual approach concerned her. She began her first team meeting by delegating steps and due dates to the various department heads. Lynn knew Bob was a competent guy.

  By grabbing a small project (for example, an article that you want to read) and working on it for a short period of time, you take a few minutes away from the work that was putting you into an afternoon coma-like state.    You also release serotonin/happiness/excitement as you finish a project.

Most of the time, these mistakes create lots of problems: financial, health, reputation, and more. They accept more work than they can handle: So you’re working on two projects and five are pending… Why do you need to accept more?

The chance to direct a team and co-ordinate projects can be very challenging, yet rewarding. 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. Burnout also negatively impacts your health. Put your health first.

If you apply the 80/20 rule to your life, be sure to first make clear what are you giving up, and don’t mix leisure with work, or even different projects at work. Always keep some buffer time to relax, take it easy and disconnect from stress. Remove all tasks that are unnecessary for a project.

Enough money , enough health, enough love. Running is also a very good way to squeeze the stored stress in your body. Unconsciously, during stressing phases, you contract your muscles, putting yourself in a fight or flight situation.

If you know a project will take 2 hours, add another 30 minutes to buffer for time lost to interruptions. Don’t let the stresses of life control you. If you’re not eating properly, or your muscles are tight from too much time in one position, or your stress level is rising, your productivity will decrease. Take a break.

Don’t leave half-completed projects sitting on your desktop. Personally I prefer askSam and (either way) it takes time and effort to implement but for every hour I put into it, it probably saves me four (and reduces stress). Every morning, pull out the folder for the day and place the contents into your inbox. Just a suggestion.
