If you are persistently exhausted, you are doing too many things

Inspired Product Leadership for the Overwhelmed and Overworked

To step into inspired leadership...you must REST.  If you are persistently exhausted, you cannot make good decisions, you are cranky to your team, and you certainly cannot inspire others.

Reflections for exhausted product managers

1. What needs to be true for you to rest?
2. What is your exhaustion costing you in terms of relationships, your career, and your health?
3. What frivolous activities distract you from meaningful work?
4. Who might help?
5. If this does not get done today, will it matter a week from now?
6. If this does not get done this week, will it matter a year from now?
