Catch Up Day

Today is my catch up day.

Over time, there are items that keep adding up on my desk. These are credits from vendors, audits for companies, catching up on writing this blog and other things that are important, but not urgent. More than desk space, these tasks take up mental space. Sometimes these can pile up for a month or longer, it’s not intentional, but it isn’t something customer facing so it feels less important.

Taking a day that is blocked off in advance and protecting that day for cleaning up messes is more important. The value of the focus and clarity that results is invaluable.

What are the messes that have been piling up on your desk?
