In this episode, I tackle the challenge of managing an overloaded to-do list and competing priorities. How do you decide what truly deserves your time and attention, and what can be set aside? We explore a powerful metaphor that can help—imagine all your responsibilities as balls in a bucket. Some are glass, some are wood, and some are rubber.
Glass balls represent the critical tasks that, if dropped, will shatter. Wood balls may get dented but can recover. Rubber balls? They’ll bounce back if you let them drop. Understanding this distinction is key to managing stress and avoiding overwhelm.
Learn how to identify these "balls" in your life, set boundaries, and focus on what truly matters. Aligning your actions with your core values and purpose can help you navigate life with more calm and clarity. After all, calm is a leadership superpower!
Tune in to learn how you can juggle life’s priorities more effectively and let your true self shine.
