Even if it's a two-minute task that’s weighing on you. If you're thinking about it all week long, it's not a two-minute task anymore. It's become a week-long task and it's draining your energy for all of those other tasks.” “Team culture is really important, especially when you are working with contractors because there’s the sense that they're still running their own business. So it's really important to do those team-building things.”  More about Kristen: Kristen Westcott is a business growth and systems strategist and founder of the Freedom Track Method who has spent the last decade in the legal and education fields supporting leaders and students in the areas of goal setting, productivity and project management.
