Time management is not about filling every available minute with work. It is about deciding what deserves your time, making realistic space for it and protecting that space from less important demands.

A well chosen good morning message can turn a quiet Slack channel into an engaged one, remind a distributed team that they are seen, or simply make a coworker’s Monday a little easier.
