Word of caution (and huge note to self)

Apple Store entrance
Does technology help or hinder? Depends how we manage our priorities and time, no?

 

Do not tire of almost always being the initiator. It’s a compliment. It means you are decently organized and have your priorities clearly before you at all times.

Word of caution (and huge note to self), be intentional about not having these two attributes become embarrassing for others.

Most people are buried. And they can barely keep up.

i know, i battle it every day the sun rises, and it lasts until after the sun sets.

Working vacations are under rated and over rated.

Just like exerting the lifetime effort (personal leadership) to stay healthy and active. Or to opt for ‘relaxing, taking it easy, and enjoying life’ at the expense of exertion.

The key is to take enough vacations so that the odds equal out that some are working vacations and some are not.

The good reason for doing the hard stuff first

Florida Hospital Winter Garden
Yesterday, Florida Hospital Winter Garden under construction.

 

Florida Hospital Winter Garden
Try building something great without blueprints.

 

The good reason for doing the hard stuff first is that the easy stuff is always easier than the hard stuff.

Draw the blueprints first.

Sweat the foundation, the infrastructural, the design.

You can decide later whether the family room floor will be tile, wood or carpet.

It doesn’t matter if you are certain about your floor if the house never gets built.

The easy stuff should always come last when it comes to organizational architecture.

Are we aware of our question’s focus?

Airport bookstore sign
Atlanta airport bookstore sign two days ago.

 

Are we aware of our question’s focus?

What do i need to know today is a good question.

But it doesn’t become a great question until we add a prioritized context.

Most of us skip this step because of the increased degree of difficulty in thinking through the bigger picture beyond today’s to-do list.

Business trifecta at Authority Rainmaker

Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver
Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver, yesterday.

 

Business trifecta at Authority Rainmaker.

  1. Amazing speakers.
  2. Amazing event/venue.
  3. Amazing attendees.

It was the last one that was an aha moment though.

The crowd.

The other busy, ambitious people.

Those people.

They were beyond amazing.
