A manager and mentor of mine once gave me advice that stuck: just do more of the things you enjoy.
With seniority comes freedom—but also responsibility, and, more often than not, stress. I’m expected to figure out my own goals and the best way to have impact. That’s a lot to carry, and it’s easy to get stuck in the daily mire of meetings, process, and busy work.
Just do more of the things you enjoy
That simple cue was exactly what I needed. It helped me de-clutter my days, find more joy in my work, and, as a result, have more impact.
