We’ve started a new thing around here that happens once a week. We’ve decided to call it Fearless Friday. Wanna know why?
We’ve noticed that so many things pass us by because we’re afraid. Afraid to take more than 2 steps away from the phone because it might ring; and especially afraid to plan anything for a Friday night because we might not complete our week’s projects on time. From now on, we are going to be fearless every Friday — we are going to start breaking the rules.
For me, Friday is notorious for crap work. I spend the biggest part of every Friday working on all the last minute requests for something that someone else has put off all week, but wants off of THEIR desk before the weekend. What do I do? I trudge through them one by one and don’t stop until MY desk is clear for the weekend. Not anymore!
And so long as my voice message for clients is up to date, they understand when they may not immediately get to speak with me personally. Seriously, if I’m on the phone and can’t take the call — they understand. Right?
C’mon and get fearless with us! At least one day a week – how about next Friday?
