⏲️The Time Management Mistake You're Probably Making
As an HR department of one, none or few, your time is at a premium.
Here’s a mistake many of us make: We manage our calendars. But we don’t manage our focus.
If everything feels urgent, here’s a simple reset:
🕧The 3–Block Rule
Every week, identify three blocks of time (60–90 minutes each) that are protected for work that actually moves the needle (not email, meetings, or reacting).
Examples:
- Preparing for a tough accountability conversation
- Reviewing performance trends
- Building a hiring or onboarding plan
- Creating structure for better 1:1s
- Thinking (yes, thinking counts)
Put those blocks on your calendar first and treat them like a client meeting you would never cancel.
Small, consistent blocks of focused time prevent big, messy issues later.
