Many of the day-to-day tasks are not interesting as they are contacting people for updates or chasing up things that have not yet been done. I have very long “follow-up” and “waiting-for” queues. But then as TPF President is really a general manager it is not shocking that I have so many of these management tasks.

At the minute it is not my aim to reduce my workload, but as you suggested I want to pass on certain tasks so that I can attend to other things. I will continue to work on that!

Especially if you feel that these aren’t interesting tasks. Especially if these tasks are otherwise not visible to the rest of us.

I think if you decide to write these entries once a week you will soon, within a few weeks, will see that you can point out areas where people might help you. I am sure there are many people in the Perl community who would be ready to help in some of those tasks. That in turn will either let you reduce your workload or allow you to attend other tasks as well.

Thank you!
