you need—such as more resources—because
you’re in a position of weakness. It’s like trying to
accelerate in a car that badly needs a tune-up.
However, be aware of burnout. If you are effi -

might well take on too much, determining that

STAY FOCUSED AND IN RHYTHM
Allowing yourself to become too casual
at work can cause you to slip into poor
time-management practices. On the
other hand, pressing too hard can burn
you out. Develop and maintain a good
tempo by:- Avoiding casual conversations
at work that will put you behind
schedule - Letting people know up front that
you’re consciously guarding your
time - Knowing when to step on the gas
or ease off to meet deadlines for
what’s on your list - Scheduling mini-breaks and vaca-
tions to establish the pace you want
for your health - POWER POINTS •
