i was feeling drained and i really felt like a hampster on a wheel. I wasn't able to kind of pick my head up and think clearly about not just my work and my role in the company, but my value to the company. And i think the recaptured time allowed me to re focus and actually take the priority of productivity away and kind of shift it to value. So what can i do? What can i accept that are actually going to be valuable to the company?"
