This is not a fight
|
Time and You. It's not a fight. It cant' be won. Sure, you want to do more stuff. But is it, though? What if you could do LESS, in less time? Time is nothing but a constraint. If it were a resource, you could use it at will, you could store it, you could buy and sell it. So, what to do instead? First, make your peace with it. It is what it is. And it's ok. Second, grab a piece of paper and jot down EVERYTHING that comes to your mind you would/could/need to do this year. Don't filter it. Just brain dump it. Third, pick all of them and group them by themes. Now, choose the most relevant. That's your one thing. :) |

Some replies to yesterday's message went from taking the hit (because you're not feeling it), to ignore it, to keep doing your great work, to respond with another attacking move. They all work. What if their move is a copycat of your work? And that they claim it's theirs? What happens when you set the standard, they follow your standard and now it looks like there's no different one in the market?
What do you do when your competitors make an attacking move? Do you... Hold tight and take the hit? Respond with another hit of the same move? (And eye for an eye) Come up with a move they did not expect?
Making decisions look into the future. All of the data you might have is past data. The more information and data points you have won't make your decision more certain. They all involve risk. Make small, calculated risk-decisions. That way you won't need to make a BIG one too radical too fast. Save your energy for those ones.
