The best mental hack to help you prioritize conflicting demands for your attention on a daily basis: Ask yourself the ‘Focus Question’.
Here’s the Focus Question: “What’s the ONE thing I can do, that will make everything else easier or even unnecessary?”
The FQ drives clarity and helps you pick the activity / project / priority that has the maximum *leverage*. e.g. It could be hiring for that critical position that might make ten other projects move faster; it could be setting up the right metrics for the team so that they are clear on their OKRs for the quarter; it could be training the team on presentation skills so that every single sales pitch becomes 10x more effective.
Make a list of the tasks that will move your goals forward, and work on them in the descending order of leverage. Train your team to do the same.
