Hi friends!

I’m excited to share a resource I’ve been developing for over a year (or maybe more like a decade depending on how we’re counting 🙃).

🌱 Latest from Jeremy

​“Too Many Hats, Too Little Time” — A week planning guide for senior leaders of social change organizations​

The more responsibilities we have on our plate, the more likely we are to end up scrambling to put out fires.

This reactive orientation to time is one of the top causes I see of burnout and overwhelm.

The solution: Develop an intentional orientation to time.

The key parts you need to develop that intentional orientation:

• A system to track everything on your plate.
• A habit to prioritize what is most important
• The mindset to let go of the things you can’t fit in this week.

​

Want to help spread the word? Know any director-level folks in social change organizations/non-profits who might be feeling overwhelmed and are looking to get organized? If so, I’d be grateful if you passed this email on to them (or shared it in groups you're a part of)! Thanks for helping get useful tools to the people who might be looking for them.

☀️ Quotes & Inspiration

Since we're talking about time management in this newsletter, I can't help but include (yet another) quote from Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkman

📕 Interesting & fun shares

• 🔉 Enneagram introduction part 1 and part 2 on Glennon Doyle's podcast. The guest put words to the reason I love the Enneagram: "It's not describing behavior, it's describing motivation."
• 🔉 Podcast on communal living from Ezra Klein: I've lived communally most of my life (and I've written a few guides related to communal living). I appreciated the exploration of the importance of having "larger care networks" — especially if you're parenting!
• 🎶 Most epic 90s sing-along ever: I basically want this to be my life every night! 🤩
