Joshua: "How's work?"
Erin: "Can't complain. Running my team today. I get nervous. Learning curve"
Joshua: "Oh... Hun, you got this!"
“Inevitably we find ourselves tackling too many things at the same time, spreading our focus so thin that nothing gets the attention it deserves. This is commonly referred to as "being busy." Being busy, however, is not the same thing as being productive.”

Joshua: "I'm looking up quotes about multitasking but everyone seems to have issues with it. So my advice is to just focus on the task at hand and move on to the next."
"If they need something and you need something as far as learning, just ask questions."
Erin: On her iPhone, loves the quote.
In my head slacker... hahaha! Just kidding.
Erin: "I love your advice. Now that's legit boss guidance, thanks."
Joshua: "Also never use the words, 'I'm busy' to your team, you all need to be there for each other."
Erin: Loved "Also never use the words... " from the iPhone.
In my head, what is this sorcery!
Well, how did we get here? Erin is my really close friend and I was so stoked for her to let me write about us. She recently lost her job and struggled to find a new one but she's a recruiter. So there in demand? Idk... something about metrics and I promise I listen to her and that's how we got here.
Monday at Azteca we are sitting down for lunch and when I talk to her she has great attention to detail but when her phone goes off she can't multitask for squat. She has amazing advice and listens to my stories but zones out on her iPhone.
I always have such a great time with Erin and we have an alien mascot emoji, named Constantine because we have a constant friendship that we maintain. Friendships take maintenance and we're pretty good at it.
I've never been a manager but I can give advice from a team leader/ employee standpoint. I hate being told, 'Hey, I'm busy'. Really if you take 30 secs to look at this picture or reexplain a piece of this information, I'll be done when you are done doing your office work. I get it too they have a tough job and try to hire competent people but sometimes directions and advice are needed. We're all in this together. Also, a little bit of multitasking practice goes a long way and I can say that because I used to suck at it more than I do now. I had horrible tunnel vision and it's important to stay on your toes and be able to see the big picture.
I like that Erin is a team leader in management, I think it's a great growth role for her to have and I wish her the most success because she's earned this opportunity.
