And it literally changed my life. I didn't have meetings every single day beginning to end with only 30 minutes or an hour in between.” “I create my additional to-do list again of only the bare essentials so that I am not overwhelmed by this daunting list of things that don't really need to get done.” “Batch work and batch your meetings to give yourself big chunks of open space to actually do work, get things done, think big, think strategically, and go deep in your work. Then, have your meetings on different days.” Resources Financial Management Webinar: https://hello.blackbaud.com/2024-Financial-Management-Webinar-Series.html  FREE Finance Routine Checklist: https://100degreesconsulting.com/routine  Keep up to date with the podcast: @100degreesconsulting Follow Stephanie on Instagram: @stephanie.skry/  Connect with Stephanie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanieskryzowski/  Visit the podcast page: https://100degreesconsulting.com/resolution-that-changed-work-life    Want more of the podcast?
