Do you have work-related FOMO?

Fighting Executive FOMO Even with the understanding that too many meetings is a strain on my time resource, as CEO, I also feel a deep desire to know the details, outputs, and successes or failures of my organization as soon as they happen.  For me, absorbing such information often leads to inspiration, and it helps me to make decisions in the best interest of my company.  I feel a pull to just “jump on a call” or a fear that I might miss something important if I am too ruthless with my time resource. As a result, I have had to come up with a mental model for how to commit my time in the most useful ways possible.  That's where Async comes in.  When I think about my calendar and what I need to be successful, it’s usually bucketed into these 3 areas:  I need information: I need to receive a status update, or I need to share an update.  I need resolution: I may need to clear something up, make a decision, or solve a problem.  I need to be social: I want to celebrate something, explore something new, or build rapport with a customer, teammate, or potential new hire."  [Watch & Read the Full Article](   [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [LinkedIn]( [YouTube](   *Data sourced from [University of California Irvine.](  CloudApp helps you win back your calendar and stop wasting time in meetings and long emails.
