I’m guessing you value your time and don’t want to waste it, right?
When you consider time wasters at work, you may think of things like
- Unproductive meetings
- Lack of clarity
- Tech issues
- Interruptions
But have you ever thought how much time you waste on certain colleagues?
In my corporate days, I wanted to keep EVERYBODY happy.
I was such a people pleaser.
But it was time-consuming, stressful, and exhausting.
It was a long time before I even realized the extent of this because I was so focused on others instead of on how I felt.
Stopping people pleasing and putting yourself first can be a huge challenge when you’re brought up with the idea that being selfish is bad.
But when you make your wellbeing a priority, you feel better, you do better work, and you’re a better influence on others.
