Tom Caravela’s Post

Does the day, week, month, and quarter always get away from you? You were going to do those high-impact activities but the time just slipped away. Or are you so packed with meetings there is no way you can get anything done? It's time to take back control of your calendar with a time audit! This simple process helps you see where you are actually spending your time. ⚠️Warning⚠️ It might be surprising where your time actually goes and it might not feel good (mindless scrolling and endless emails anyone?). Do you also color-code your calendar? If yes, what are your categories and colors?

Mastering your time = being able to take over the world and achieve your dreams Get your calendar under wraps with a time audit! Learn more in this MSL Talk episode.

Do you control your calendar? Or does your calendar control you? This week's episode is all about a tool that helps you focus on: 🎯High-impact work (your needle movers!) It's easy to let the busy work creep up on you and push off your important work. Been loving all the outreach about this week's episode! Tom and I are so glad you find it helpful. Please keep sending me your categories and calendars! I love hearing how other people use this 🌈.

We're interested in your input, whether you're an aspiring MSL, a current MSL, an experienced Medical Affairs people-leader, or someone looking to step into leadership.
