1. Remind yourself daily that the metrics you've used to gauge your own productivity or success until now do not apply. It's really hard. Resist the temptation to do non-TL things if it will affect your TL responsibilities.
2. Find other people who have more/broader experience than you do, and pay attention to the perspective they provide. There are many people who know more than most TLs but don't want the role themselves. You can help each other.
3. Remember that lead is as important as technical in your job title. Your role is to bring people to a place they're not already. Figure out what's missing in your project and/or your team members' skillsets. Those are the things that it's your job to address.
