Getting it done with other people -lp


I am working to implement your getting it done method, calendaring everything and not having a to-do list. Where I’m having a challenge is that I work with other humans and have a strong habit to people please

UM
C: boss said he wants to wait for client to give us approval before determining schedule to go live or make revisions
T: we should figure that out now from our end and let client know when we can do it because I don’t want to have to drop everything when client says go but boss doesn’t want to
F: hesitant
A: doubt myself, go along with boss’ plan to wait, drop everything when client says go, work when I’m supposed to be off, move things on my calendar urgently
R: I give over control of my schedule to boss and clients

IM
C: boss said he wants to wait for client to give us approval before determining schedule to go live or make revisions
T: we can determine a reasonable schedule that works for everyone
F: in control
A: negotiate availability and my own schedule, protect my time off, meet clients deadline, calendar next steps when I know about them, don’t move prior scheduled tasks and projects unless they’re low priority things
R: I take control of my schedule

UM
