> it’s always a challenge balancing my focus between things I should be doing, which typically support others, and things I probably should delegate, which support me. I’ve learned that I do need to do that second type of work at least sometimes, despite it essentially being a snack, as it actually gives me fuel to do better on the other kind of work. I’m constantly getting this balance wrong and prioritizing others over myself, which results in a general lack of satisfaction at the end of the workweek.
Oh man I relate to this so hard, this is a constant challenge! I mostly go too far in the direction of doing things I should probably delegate, which isn’t great either 😬
Agree about Kill It With Fire, that book is great! More process-oriented than I expected, but I guess ultimately that’s always where the problems are.
