Time doesn’t need protecting

Do you “protect your time”?

I hear this term used often. It’s wrong:

• Too-good-er: The mindset of thinking certain things are beneath you.
• Not my responsibility: The rigid, inflexible lack of team-player DNA.

Time doesn’t need you to protect it. It needs you to leverage it:

• Saying no to say yes: The mindset of choosing not to do the wrong things so that you can choose the right things. And do them well.
• Bring your genius: Leveraging your team-player DNA to bring more value in ways you’re uniquely equipped to do so.

Don’t be a too-good, rigid “protector of time”. Be an intentional genius who leverages time for the good of your team.
