On LinkedIn, there are numerous posts about productivity and the thin line between professional and personal life. There are also many opinions on how to manage increased responsibilities.

I always fulfill my responsibilities and go above and beyond. I love my jobs, and I am not in need of someone to tell me what I have to do. This is my approach, as I sometimes operate independently.
I may have a biased approach because I set my own tasks and maintain a weekly to-do list; however, I firmly believe that a truly motivated individual can effortlessly and responsibly handle tasks.

So, motivation is the key to many doors. I am highly motivated because I love what I do, even if sometimes I do not have free time on my hands and I lack prioritizing (that is something I must work on).

I agree that it’s important to complete tasks within your own timeframe, meet expectations, and move on. I work hard while also having a personal life and maintaining my emotional standard of living. I maintain both professional and emotional standards. If I am worried, stressed, or upset, my productivity suffers. When my collaborators set up tasks predictably, I appreciate it most. If they inform me beforehand, I can meet any deadlines.

Furthermore, might micromanagement be dead? Just a thought…
