Have you ever noticed how we decide to reorganize our desk or sort email in our inbox, instead of doing the uncomfortable thing that will actually move the dial? It can seem productive to complete tasks and we love that feeling of accomplishment, but beware the trap of doing this on the simple things so that you can avoid the important things. In this episode, learn how to choose high-impact work time and again.

How to evaluate whether the right things are on your to do list before you set out to do these tasks
What is underneath the frustration with working hard but not seeing commensurate progress
What we often do when faced with a challenging, ambiguous task that we are uncertain how to approach

How to choose your leadership identity and repeat it to yourself and others to build the belief in yourself of consistently doing the uncomfortable thing
Use your long-term vision as the guidepost for choosing the activity that will aggressively advance its fruition
