Your workload just tripled, what do you do? How do you handle it? Perhaps someone on your team leaves for another job, or someone gets pulled for another project, or maybe a new initiative starts. All the sudden you find yourself with two to three times the work you had before. What can you do to help manage all that extra work? How do you handle all that overwhelm? How does your work life balance not take a hit?
Even a 10% increase in workload will warrant looking at some of these tactics. Often people pick up “a little more work” and do things like skip lunch or stay an hour late. It’s the approach of absorbing the extra and continuing to do the same thing you’ve always done, just more of it. Don’t! This cuts into your work-life balance and causes burnout. I urge you to use these tactics for all situations where workload increases over 10% to help maintain your sanity.
On the show, Brian spoke with Andrew Lawless, a high performance coach, and the founder of The Consultant Profit System. Andrew coaches people to go from $100K to $1Mil a year. That’s a 10x increase in work. Clearly in those circumstances, “What got you here won’t get you there” and you need to change your processes during that much growth.
Brian and Andrew shared more than 41 tips and tactics to handle this overwhelm. To see the full list, visit the episode page here:
