Would you choose a more intentional day?

4/24/2020

Colleagues,
 
Yesterday you reflected on your actions from the previous day and your thinking behind your choices. As we wrap up this week, let’s look again at the three epiphanies:
  1. There is not enough time.
  2. I choose where I invest my time.
  3. My choices reflect my priorities
 
The big idea is that we should be making intentional decisions about how we spend our time. 
 
The subtext to this emphasis on intentionality is that we often make decisions unconsciously.
 
You followed me through my busy day on Monday and we dissected some of my thinking on Wednesday. We saw a couple places where I could have been more intentional about my decisions. But what about you? 
 
Take 2-5 minutes and reflect on the things you identified yesterday.
  • If you could rewrite your day, what would you have changed?  
  • If you knew ahead of time that you weren’t going to get everything done, and you knew about the unanticipated things that came to you, how would you have spent your time?
 
The three epiphanies empower you to choose and to be aware of your values in making those choices. When you are intentional about your choices, you can begin to get off the treadmill of the urgent.
 
Next week we will focus on rewriting your mental algorithms to emphasize importance over urgency. 
 
Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
