Is anyone else worried they’re losing skills because their job is all meetings now? I used to spend most of my week running analyses and writing, and now I’m buried in planning sessions and cross-team check-ins. I’m proud to be trusted, but I miss actually doing the work. How do you stop your technical abilities from slipping?

I'm not quite at that level yet, I'm still spending most of my time doing the actual work. But I'm following this thread because that is a major fear of mine as I grow in my career.

I have definitely thought this before. I feel like all I do is report to meetings and send emails. I often miss the ACTUAL work as well. I love being a leader but I hate the amount of meetings I am in every day.

I'll tell you what it is: referencing!

You have to do so much of it, and it's so annoying. You have to cite your sources, but there are so many different formats for citations! And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
