Business leaders have a lot to do. The number of tasks that need to get done keeps expanding, and as a result the To Do list grows and grows.

This blog post was prompted by a December 2015 blog post from Seth Godin that I tucked away for inspiration, called, “Is it too little butter, or too much bread?” Here is the gist. When is the last time you complained about having too many resources in your business? Too many engineers, too many clients, too much revenue?

Let me guess. The answer is probably never. It is always the opposite. The engineering plan for this year to too expansive – we don’t have enough…fill in the blank – time, money, people. And so on.
