Not Enough Time? You Might Have a Tab Problem

About this episode

Gayle Lantz discusses the importance of attention management over time management for leaders.

How many tabs do you have open right now on your browser, and in your brain? If you're like most leaders, it's probably more than you'd care to admit. And while it's easy to blame a packed schedule, the real issue isn't time. It's attention. In this episode, Gayle Lantz reframes one of the most common challenges she sees in her work with leaders: not time management, but attention management. Using the simple but surprisingly powerful metaphor of a browser with too many tabs open, she invites you to take a closer look at what's quietly consuming your mental bandwidth and what to do about it.
