126 GID How to Scope Your Workload
from Modern Mentor
A huge source of work backlog is that we take on far more than we can handle, because we have overly-optimistic ideas of what we can get done in a single day. We scope a project and scope our day with great ambition. Too much ambition. Learn to be an average achiever-consistently-and you may end up getting far more done than you think possible.
