Turtle Steps Velocity Work: Understanding Email Overload
Firstly, let’s embrace the concept of Turtle Steps Velocity Work. Email overload might feel like the primary cause of our busyness, but the actual root cause runs deeper. It’s more than just an overflowing inbox, it’s about how we manage our tasks and workflow.
Turtle Steps Velocity Work: The Real Problem
Let’s delve into the real issue. It’s not just about the sheer volume of emails. It’s about the inability to efficiently sort, process, and respond to them. We suggest a counter-intuitive solution. Over the next few episodes, we will talk more about this counter-intuitive solution. A solution that’s not just about working faster or harder but smarter and more efficiently.
