What's your framework for understanding how you are spending your time as a business leader? In this episode, I'll introduce you to my 4E framework, which breaks tasks down based on how much mental effort they take on your part, and whether they are "just getting things done" or making decisions for the future of your business. Many entrepreneurs, including myself, often get caught up in the day-to-day grind, but it's important to give ourselves time for the thinking tasks, even if they don't give us immediate results.
Timestamp Overview:
00:00 Work smarter, not harder, with 4E framework
03:34 Executing - maintenance tasks
04:33 Evaluating - slow down and make decisions
05:53 Entrusting - ensure you are not stuck doing all the work yourself
08:12 Envisioning - dreaming and planning the future of your business
09:05 Prioritize strategic tasks even though you will not see immediate gratification
