HI everyone-

I tried to send this a while back but it bounced (I sent it from the
wrong e-mail address). Hope everyone is well...

I've been practicing doing one thing with fairly good success. The
airplane mode on my phone has become my best friend and my staff has
been respectful of my closed door (it helps that it's a huge warehouse
door at the end of a hallway - the polar opposite of Anne's
situation). I still fight the urge to check texts and emails, but for
the most part I can maintain focus and I've been able to get a lot
done.

However, while the weekley planning and concentration have helped me
get more done, I find that I'm not getting back those 3-5 hours a
week. This is leaving me exhausted and making the Stagen work harder
to fit in amongst my work duties. I'm not sure if I have too much to
do, if I was behind, or if maybe I'm not applying the concepts
correctly. Is anyone else experiencing this? As I look at the
attention zones, I am staying in proactive territory, but I'm missing
the restorative piece. I've got to find time to refresh. And I still
need to find those extra hours...

I tried some new delegating this week with my operations guys after
talking with Cindy, hopefully that frees up some time.

Best-
Elliot
