Handling Reactionary Work
Reactionary work can be distracting and take up most of our time. Blocking time for certain activities like responding to email or replying to text messages may help.
Remember that reactionary work seems urgent but is not important at that moment.

Make Strategic Thinking Part of Your Job
David Collis - Harvard Business School professor
Invite Dissent To Build Others’ Commitment
An executive needs those she leads to translate strategic insights into choices that drive results. For people to commit to carrying out an executive’s strategic thinking, they have to both understand and believe in it. But repeated explanations don’t necessarily increase people’s understanding and ownership of strategy. Making them discuss the pros and cons of it make it so the problem is better understood and flaws are identified and fixed increasing ownership for success.
Identify The Strategic Requirements Of The Job
When someone is promoted into a function that requires strategic leadership it’s easy to spend time fixing what was wrong in their previous function but that often isn’t what the strategic leadership position requires. So, identify the strategic requirements of your job and focus on them.

Create an Email Productivity System
There’s no “definitive” system. The best framework is the one that works for you. Ideally, it should model your work style, supporting the way you work. Bonus points if it’s low-maintenance, fast to set up, and adaptable as your work changes.
Some people like to use folders with specific actions (do, delegate, reply), while others prefer the deadline-driven approach (today, tomorrow, next week).
Power Up Your Email with Plugins
Some examples:
- Undo Send: for when you accidentally press the send button.
- Canned Responses: create a template that you can reuse with canned responses.
- Send and Archive: Automatically archive an email after replying to it using the send and archive button.

Why You Need a Daily Prioritization Meeting
Steven Pressfield
Daily prioritization check-in
The process of finding what is important to work on could be translated into this series of simple questions:
- Do I truly have to do this thing now?
- If the answer is Yes, is this “The Most Important Thing?”
- If not, where does it fit in relation to the other tasks?
- Is someone waiting on me for this?
- If so, when do they need it?
- Does working/not working on this now have long-term consequences that I am not aware of?
