You haven’t seen the gym, a home-cooked meal or any sort of routine
in weeks and you’re ready to throw in the towel because there is no discernible light at the end of the tunnel?
You could be working smarter (instead of longer or harder), If you spend the majority of your day gabbing away around the water cooler only to find yourself sorely behind when the afternoon rolled around.

Most of us have a tendency to procrastinate in one form or another, but it’s especially detrimental if it occurs on a regular basis or during critical business and productivity times. Working smarter is a completely underrated attribute and is never more valuable than when deadlines are tight.
Create small deadlines, create lists, or manage your time in other ways in order to use your time effectively. Distractions will always exist, but efficiency is incredibly important when the stakes are high.
One of the keys to success, as a manager at any level is the ability to delegate and collaborate. Using resources wisely (read: time, others’ knowledge) is a trait that will make anyone more successful. Getting other people on board with a project and bringing in outside help when necessary will mean fewer late nights and undoubtedly a better outcome.
Good, bad or otherwise, nothing lasts forever. If you can’t take care of yourself and your sanity while taking care of business, then it’s time to change things up.

But, if you can take a step back and get clarity on the context of your situation, the extra effort will pay dividends.
