Thursday, 25 December, 2025
Chris and Roberto tackle two major productivity traps: the obsession with perfection and the mistake of multitasking. They explore the philosophy that "he who chases two rabbits catches neither" and explain why limiting work-in-progress is the key to sustainable leadership and delivering actual business value. 🧱Here's what we covered:🐇 The rabbit trap: We discussed why trying to manage too many projects simultaneously usually results in finishing absolutely nothing.🖐️ The rule of five: Chris explains why five active projects is the practical limit before productivity collapses due to excessive context switching.🚨 Urgent vs. important: Roberto breaks down how to distinguish between true emergencies and noise, so you don't lose sight of long-term goals.✨ Perfection is the enemy: We explored why a project that is 80% complete and in production is infinitely more valuable than a "perfect" project that never launches.📉 The cost of overload: How excessive multitasking destroys work quality, ruins time estimates, and fast-tracks team burnout.💼 Delivering value: Why stakeholders care about finished results rather than a long list of halfway-done promises.Leadership isn't about saying yes to everything—it's about having the courage to prioritize so your team can actually cross the finish line.🎧 Stop spinning your wheels and start delivering!
