What does your working week demand from you?
Review the pattern of work, preparation and recovery to make demanding responsibilities more manageable.
Look at last week’s calendar. Where did you need concentrated thinking? Which conversations required difficult decisions? Where did preparation disappear?
Ask what you noticed about your ability to focus and engage. Use your own experience without assuming that every demanding day has the same effect.
Choose one practical adjustment: create a preparation gap, move a recurring meeting or make time for an activity that helps you recover.
Review whether it helped. If the workload remains unreasonable, discuss the workload itself.
A better plan can help. But if there is too much work, the workload also needs to change.
