Yeah, I guess if I cared enough OR if I had the energy and motivation, I would be willing to fight this battle - and some days I get a slight whiff of that energy/motivation stuff, but rarely. Most days, it's all I can do to get myself to work, and work on things in reactive mode. There's so much to do - really too much for one person - and I'm trying - and it was like this in my last job and the one before that...I think it's inherent to the business, frankly. Especially working in higher ed.
I do try to be proactive on occasion, but, as the sign I kept by my desk at my old job said, "Come see me tomorrow. By then maybe I will have caught up with what I'm supposed to be doing today."
But anyway...all the more reason to be my own boss someday.
