Workload management is a mess.
Most people don’t actually know everything that’s on their plate. And if you don’t know, you can bet your manager doesn’t either.
The Unobstructed Podcast: Episode 05
In this episode of The Unobstructed Podcast, Rachael and I break down why workload visibility is so broken—especially in remote and hybrid work.
We talk about:
Untracked work and why it leads to burnout.
Misaligned tools that make work way harder than it needs to be.
Task lists beyond what’s assigned—the things that pile in from email and Slack.
Work is measured in output, not hours. But if nobody knows what’s actually on your plate, how do you set expectations. And, you know…not drown?
Give it a listen and let us know what you think.
You can also listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music.
