EP 88. How to Manage Your Workload as a New Manager (Without Burning Out)

New managers take on too much, too soon. It happens all the time. You say yes to everything, pick up extra work, and you’re suddenly drowning in tasks that shouldn’t even be on your plate.If your to do list never ends, if you feel like you’re working harder but never getting ahead, this episode is for you. I’m walking through a simple way to get your workload under control, so you can focus on leading your team, without working late every night.In this episode, you’ll learn: - Why new managers get stuck in the busy trap (and how to stop it)- The three types of categories in your workload and what to do with each one- How to cut out low value work without feeling guilty- A better way to delegate so you’re not micromanaging or fixing mistakes- How to create space for the work that actually mattersYou don’t have to do it all. You just have to know what’s worth your time.If this episode helped, send it to a manager who needs to hear it. And if you haven’t yet, leave a quick review! If your workload feels out of control and you’re stuck doing everything yourself, send me a DM on Instagram or LinkedIn. Let me know what’s one task you know you shouldn’t be doing, but haven’t let go of yet. I’d love to hear from you.Links and Resources Mentioned:The Leaders Lounge: The coaching and community membership for new and emerging managers who want to lead with confidence (without the overwhelm).
