IMAGINE THAT
Monday, November 28, 2022
How much of your day is deliberately about executing a plan for today?
Or, if that is too hard to answer quickly, how much of your day and the week ahead will be spent cleaning up what you didn’t finish last week that we should have done/completed before last week ended?
Imagine this …
A blank slate, an empty/cleared plate*, a rational approach to day and week with adequate time for what I’ve planned, AND time for the unexpected, the anticipated new opportunities.
Imagine this …
Most weeks, and I’m sure most of us are like this, we’ve got so much going on that we barely have time to look up to see a new opportunity staring us in the face, let alone the ones we might go on the hunt to find.
*While eating off a plate that hasn’t been washed yet, or wearing our cleanest dirty shirt is something we’ve probably done when necessary; we wouldn’t think of leaving food on last Friday’s plate and simply adding to it today, would we? Somehow, when it comes to managing our work and scheduling processes, we are counter-productive in ways we can quickly spot in others, but we seem willfully blind to it in ourselves
