Feeling Overwhelmed? Take Back Control of Your Time with the Executive Velvet Rope Policy
Do you ever feel like there just aren't enough hours in the day?
Many driven professionals, like yourself, struggle with juggling a demanding career and personal aspirations. Often, this leaves them feeling depleted and with no time for anything else.
But what if I told you there's a simple strategy to reclaim your time and energy? It's called the Executive Velvet Rope Policy.
Here's the idea: Imagine yourself at an exclusive club, managing the guest list. You wouldn't let just anyone in, right?
You'd prioritize important guests and filter out those who wouldn't add value to the experience. Apply this concept to your schedule.
Identify the VIPs: What are your top priorities? Focus on tasks that align with your leadership goals, career advancement, and personal well-being. These are your VIPs.
Limit guests: Not everything deserves your time and energy. Learn to politely decline requests and commitments that fall to far outside your VIP list.
Also, guests need to RSVP ahead of time. If someone isn't a VIP they can't just walk up and expect to get in.
Overall this is about saying "no" which creates space for what truly matters. Try it out, let me know how it goes.
What and who are on your VIP list?
