Workplace Multiplier by Tola Akinsulire

Welcome to the Workplace Multiplier newsletter. Published Monday to Friday, equipping you to achieve your professional goals faster and without burnout or overwhelm.

What is Today? Halfway. Still drifting?

Howdy ,

You’re halfway through the week.

By now, one of three things is true:

1. You’re making real progress on the thing you committed to finish.

Good. Protect today, tomorrow, and Friday like your credibility depends on it. Because it does.

2. You started strong Monday, then let other priorities creep back in.

This is the pattern that kills December. You know what needs to happen: reclaim the time. Today.

3. You never actually committed to finishing anything.

Then this week is already a write-off. And you still have 14 days to make sure the rest of this window isn’t the same story.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: finishing requires saying no.

No to the meeting that could be an email.

No to the “quick question” that derails your morning.

No to the reflex to check email every 12 minutes.

You don’t need permission to finish what matters.

You need to stop asking for it.

Thursday and Friday are still yours. Use them.

What gets finished by Friday, or what excuse are you rehearsing?

And keep winning at work and in life.
