Tax manager free time planner

Free time is a precious commodity, especially for tax managers 🕰️. I constantly hear from colleagues in the field about the late nights and weekends they dedicate to work 😵‍💫, eating into the time they should be enjoying with family, friends, or pursuing personal interests like yard work, sports, or cooking.

A significant contributing factor to this issue? Inbox management. Tax professionals often operate under a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) mentality when it comes to emails, tackling the newest messages first. On average, tax managers receive 50-100 emails daily, amidst back-to-back meetings where they squeeze in lunch breaks to review returns and calculations. No surprise that handling emails becomes a free time activity…

It's crucial to reduce time spent in the URGENT/IMPORTANT zone and reclaim time for activities outside of work. Prioritize tasks that fall into the NON-URGENT/IMPORTANT category, such as brainstorming innovative ideas, nurturing relationships, and investing in personal growth.
