Controlling urgency

physician's room for medical checkup
Annual physicals are like having your HVAC system’s annual checkup. You don’t need to. You can wait. If you don’t schedule your maintenance checks, your equipment will schedule it for you.

What percentage of your time do you respond to urgent matters?

Assume that urgent means you where unprepared, blindsided, or disorganized.

What percentage of your time is never urgent?

Your two answers will total 100%.

The good news is you do not have to make hard decisions. The bad news there are always consequences from every decision.

Learn how to decide

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.

Decision fatigue and our HQ

Iberia airline ticket
The return is off by 13 days and the final city is not Miami. Leaving Madrid June 7, landing in Orlando June 7. It’s May 3 as i discover this.

Decision fatigue and our HQ.

Bad news is the return flight’s date and destination city are incorrect.

Good news is the agency has a month to correct.

Had i not been looking for a photo from yesterday, i could have flown to Madrid and never caught this until June 6 when the 24-hour notice to check-in never arrived via email.

Son, life will deal you “bad or stormy weather”. It’s like the real weather, we get great weather, good weather, bad weather, and sometimes severe weather.

The only thing we can control is our preparedness for severe weather. We also get to control our appreciation for great, good, and bad weather.

Doing the wrong things right.

 

How does one know if this is true?

How does one balance the truth against a lifetime routine?

Is this a classic “activity equals productivity” dilemma?

Is this the Pareto principle in action?

Does doing the wrong things right insulate us from our fears and doubts?

Who would we have to become to embrace the notion of transformational change?

And could we ever convince ourselves to follow a different path?
