You have two choices with the hard stuff

Core competencies
If someone asked you, “What are your top three professional core competencies?”, would you have a ready answer? If you were asked, “Do you get to do more than you have to do?”, would you know what this means and would you have a ready answer?

You have two choices with the hard stuff. The hard stuff in this context is getting and staying decently organized.

  1. Complicate the hard stuff.
  2. Simplify the hard stuff.

Is it challenging to easily pick one of the two?

Of course not.

But you need to be over-focused on picking your choices.

When you’re not over-focused, you are distracted, entertained, and medicated with life.

You have personal organization habits that are by default, not by design.

Just add action

behaviors trump intentions
Does this inspire or overwhelm you?

Just add action.

Learn like you mean it, but at some point you have to put more time into action than learning.

Learning can be a great excuse-justifier.

Unless someone presses you to see this in yourself (like i did with myself years ago), you never will.

It’s a vicious cycle of wanting to learn just a little more before you take your big risk.

But alas, risks may not work and you may lose your reputation, you may look like a fool, or you may cause a serious setback for your organization (and/or yourself).

As a bonus, all action becomes a higher-level learning curriculum.

Does it bring you joy?

Does it bring you joy?

What?

Your stuff.

When you touch it and look at it, does it bring you joy?

That’s filter number one.

Filter two is will the joy last forever, or is it just because it’s a memory?

Guessing i don’t owe you anything

quick books note
Slate is clear. It’s a new year to do what feels right and good.

The 2018 creative endeavor is done.

The goal: do something i’ve never done before. No expectation from anyone to react to my new behavior. None. You can never try something new if you aren’t willing to live with the consequences.

It sheds light and illuminates life with richer clarity than before.

With:

  • my personal Facebook account with only blood relatives and a handful of HS & College (40+ years relationships) friends
  • with texts
  • with emails
  • with phone calls

i didn’t initiate.

For a year.

The big reveal?

This was ok.

Why?

No one noticed.

No Facebook inquiries, no texts, no emails, no phone calls.

Turns out, what i felt guilty about, i didn’t need to feel guilty about.

Such a delightful surprise.

If the phone doesn’t ring, it’s me.

i hear you loud and clear too.

Glad this is okay on both sides.

All that worrying for nothing.

Freedom.

Gratitude.

Update (today, March 2): it’s now been 14 months, not 12.

What happens next?

What happens next?

What?

When you think about how you’d like to be and you think about how it currently is.

What happens next?
