Nothing short of sustainable

I've been learning a lot about sustainability lately. My job has gotten such that I'm becoming more and more reactionary as my days and weeks are now more than just busy - they're swamped. We've been talking about this and arrived at the conclusion that its time to add to our staff to accommodate this need. Adding an extra hand on deck will allow us to be strategic and proactive in our approach to everything we do.

Every process, every responsibility, every role, must be sustainable. Its not enough to just do it well. If you can’t find ways to do it well in a schedule that allows you to have a life, you’re doing something wrong. Delegate, fine-tune, lessen your load, but don’t exhaust yourself in an unmanageable system, lose heart, and lose fervor. Working 80 hr weeks will burn you out quickly as your family and personal life suffers. Change the system and make it work for the long-haul. Your boss, clients, and co-workers need you energized and inspired.
