TimeSucks

Time Sucks are those things that rob from us precious seconds, minutes, days, and even weeks of productivity.  They contribute little or nothing in moving us toward our goals.

A few notable Time Sucks:

• Layers of "permission" required, just to make simple decisions and take simple actions.
• Meetings that are either agenda-less or completely disconnected from our goals.
• "Hair on fire" work environments, where urgency persistently trumps importance.
• Team players, at all levels, who seemingly don't understand our mission.
• Systems and processes that are bureaucracy protective rather than customer focused.

Oh, one more:

• Organizational leaders who don't understand Time Sucks.

We can reduce or eliminate almost all of those Time Sucks.

Time's a wastin'....
