I’m thinking that as I continue to do more in this manner that I will continue to improve even further. My phone calls are becoming shorter and more productive. My emails are briefer and less often. My meetings are “to the point” and driven.
Perhaps the most amazing aspect of running out of time with 60 hours per week and now forcing myself to run out of time at 40 hours per week is that I’m getting far more done in the 40 hours than I was in the 60+ hours.
