I was meeting with an old colleague the other day. We met over Microsoft Teams to just check in and see how they were doing—no real itinerary, just to check in with a familiar face that I haven’t personally talked to in a few years.

In this week’s blog we thought we would discuss three strategies that work to lighten the load when it seems like the to-do list is just too big.
