I just checked my calendar to see what my week was like and nearly fainted:
I never have weeks like this.
We're not big on "standing meetings" at Tucows but I do like to make time to sit down with all my direct reports at least once a week. And I do the same with the Exec Team and Elliot. After that the rest of the week fills in pretty quickly with project-related meetings, sprint reviews, vendor discussions, customers time, and so on.
Loads of people are travelling on business or sick this week so my schedule is extremely light. Now, to be clear, this won't last. By the end of the week much of it will have filled in.
But still, it makes me realize how little time I often end up with to "do" stuff instead of talking about doing stuff. I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting some projects of my own going this week.
