If you feel like there are not enough hours in a day, you’re not alone. With more tasks to do, non-stop emails, and higher expectations, deciding what deserves your attention can quickly become overwhelming.
Here’s what that looks like.
Projects take longer than expected, so you try to squeeze more hours in to get it all done.
