Why is Friday black?

Colleagues,

MVP: Wise leaders are intentional about how they either spend or invest their time.
 
Black Friday is coming. 
 
Be careful.
 
It is a trap.
 
I’m not trying to rain on your holiday traditions so feel free to ignore this post if you love Black Friday.
 
Black Friday is a modern invention designed to specifically put you into quadrant 3 – urgent and not important!
 
What could be more important than Christmas shopping?

• Talking and playing games with family.
• Laying on the couch reading a book.
• Getting together with friends.
• Taking quiet time for yourself.
• Getting outside!!!
• Clearing an hour and reflecting deeply on the fall and your leadership.

 
All these activities give you something, as opposed to Black Friday which just wants to take and take and take.
 
If you can afford to spend the time shopping all day, can you afford to invest one hour in yourself?
 
If so, schedule the time and I’ll share a reflection exercise on Friday.
 
 
Today’s intention: Think about the hours of Friday as being a precious commodity that you can choose to spend or invest. Be intentional about how you use that time and choose wisely.
 
Cheers!

Frederick
