Getting promoted to a supervisory role is a significant milestone. It’s a chance to lead, to inspire, and to make a positive impact on your team. However, it’s also a moment of reflection. Have you ever worked for a boss you absolutely loved? What was it about them that made you want to work harder, stay later, and go the extra mile? And have you ever worked for a boss you couldn’t stand? What were the traits that made your job miserable?
We've all had them: bosses who are micromanagers, who are never satisfied, or who seem to enjoy making our lives difficult. While it's impossible to change your boss's personality, there are a few things you can do to make your work life more manageable.
Have you ever felt frustrated because you’re not “there” yet? Maybe you’re working toward a big goal, but all you can see is the distance between where you are now and where you want to be. That feeling—focusing on the gap—can make even your greatest efforts feel inadequate. It’s demoralizing, unproductive, and keeps you stuck.
Perhaps it is the stack of papers on your desk that you have been meaning to file, the leaky faucet in the kitchen, or even the windows that suddenly seem like they must be cleaned immediately. These distractions are not random; rather, they are often minor annoyances that have been ignored for too long. If left unaddressed, they can drain your focus and energy, diverting you from your priorities. The solution? Create a list of everything that is distracting you and allocate time to resolving it. Here is how this simple strategy can enhance your productivity.
