Every meeting you attend half-heartedly chips away at your reputation, and every report you rush through leaves a permanent digital footprint.
We all succumb to that feeling of “professionally exhausted.” Some more than others, yet a few consistently deliver exceptional results. Why? They’ve mastered the art of strategic disengagement.
As Maya Angelou said, “Nothing will work unless you do.”
The difference isn’t in having more time. It’s in having the courage to pause when you’re not bringing your best self forward.
Stop when feeling disengaged. Change tasks or environment. Even take a much-needed break, but whatever you do, pause. Your output is a reflection of you, regardless of how small. Be sure that it is who you choose to leave others with.
