How good is your manager?

Many of us struggle with balancing all the work and home pressures of modern life. We have so much to do, just to get on top of our job at work, in addition to home and family pressures. If that’s not enough, we also have aspirational goals of getting fit, learning a musical instrument or investing in our further education. When the boss at work calls us in for a brain storming session to come up with ideas to do even more, we may well feel we are at breaking point, and want to throw in the towel.

The reality is that in the current work era, we have two roles: a worker role, and a manager role. In our manager role we need to develop a plan to prioritise all these seemingly conflicting priorities. We may blame our senior management at work, yet it is not their role to get us organised and schedule our time – that’s ours alone!

Develop a habit of starting your day, with a plan that prioritises and schedules the most urgent and most important things, as though it was going to be done by someone else. In your 24 hours, balance work goals, home goals, personal goals as well as long term versus short. Then you can switch hats to worker mode and execute the plan that your manager-self created.
