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?

Your mileage may vary

Odometer
Had to photograph the 2002 car’s mileage yesterday – for State Farm Drive Safe and Save app.

 

Heading out the door for surgery in a few minutes.

i’m the driver.

A 12-mile drive.

The patient will recover afterward from anesthesia and will need to be driven home.

i average 6,300 miles per year on this car.

Well below normal.

What is normal anyway?

Brain drain enemy #1?

Learning concept
Email from a college enrollment department, trying to sell their school to high school prospects.

 

Learning concept
Exactly.

 

We spend our lives stuck in insidious and invisible loops, continuously asking, “Should I?”

Should i do this thing?

Should i do that thing?

Should i stop doing this thing or that thing?

It’s this endless series of half-baked ideas that rob our brain energy and attitude.

The antidote?

Pick one.

What?

When you ask, answer definitely.

Yes.

Or.

No.

And move on.

Our “Should I questions” pile up and bury our ability to breath in positivity.

Why?

Because we are overwhelmed with the things we feel are holding us back from becoming better (at anything and everything).

Saying yes or no – versus never answering – is a gateway to mental clarity.

Easy to see how saying no, or yes, can free your mind from the brain drain enemy.

Why do we stall, wait, and do nothing?

Grinnell Glacier lake
Grinnell Glacier Lake, August 30, 2017.

 

We can easily envision a new, healthier habit in our life.

Right?

We can literally taste the benefits of better habits.

No?

Yet we stall.

We wait.

Often doing nothing but dreaming.

Why?

The one key action for getting and staying organized

Grinnell Glacier Overlook
Grinnell Glacier Overlook – a one-mile spur (each way) off Highline Trail, July 30, 2017. We decided to do it – making an 11-hour hike a 13-hour hike.

 

The one key action for getting and staying organized?

Make decisions.

Constantly.
