Meeting Day

I love and dread days when my calendar is a solid block of colors. That means meetings back to back to back. There is hardly space to take care of the little things that normally crop up in the course of a day. The plus side is that I get a lot done. The minus side is that I am exhausted at the end of the day. The challenge is to stay as fresh and focused for the last meeting as you are for the first meeting.

I break my rule of no caffeine after breakfast and sip iced tea straight through until after my normal 3 pm slump time. The meetings are indeed quite productive, and I am happy to walk away with minimal action items for me and lots of promises from others to take care of things that have been hanging out there for awhile. How delightful to have people on board who get it! They are willing to move beyond daily operations to improve work flows that will make the daily operations run more smoothly. Yeah!
