CARPE SOMETHING

Wednesday Dec. 13, 2017

Most things don’t take long.

Point, click, done. Take out trash. Switch lanes. Open a file. Close a book.

Tune in. Turn off. Turn right …

So quickly. Memories of younger lithe times, snap judgements, frenetic actions – well, and sometimes painfully, remembered. Haste DOES make waste. Sometimes. Just as often, memories of quick action, seizing the moment – causing great results.

Energized, motivated, in-gear – most things are speedy – moving in tandem with our own high speed.

So how do we explain projects languishing, files and piles sitting ‘on ignore’ far from the rear-most burner?

Does ‘not acting’ mean laziness, deep thought, not convinced?

More a matter to triage of priorities in my non-conscious brain. I’m not thinking ‘sit on this’, but I trust a lot of things to my quieter side having some reason for going slow.
