60 Seconds! What Would You Grab?

My life is full of phone calls, meetings, appointments, contracts, leases, emails, returned phone calls, more emails,  deadlines, etc., etc., . . . you get the picture.
  It's probably a lot like yours.  I was just thinking, "What would I do if I had nothing to do?"  What a wonderful question to ponder.  I need to spend more time thinking about that one because I definitely think it's worth exploring .


That made me think of another question I heard in a movie last year.  In the movie, "Leap Year" Matthew Goode (Declan) asks Amy Adams (Anna) what she would grab if she only had 60 seconds to escape a burning building.  Hmmm, what would I grab?  Now, I'm assuming that is knowing that the family and the dog are all safe and away from the fire. 

 

What would I grab?  I don't think it would be my files, lead lists, smartphone or laptop, digital camera, storage media, etc., but what would it be?  I'll have to admit I'm a little stumped.  Once my family and the dog are safe there isn't much else that would rise to that critical level.  With online backup programs, dropbox and other resources where a tech savvy modern business person can keep important documents, photos and contact lists, and so on, there isn't much I would need to be back up and running in a day or so.

So, I pose the question to you.  If you only had 60 seconds to escape a burning building what would you grab on the way out?

Mike:  have you been in my mind?  This topic was just proposed to a friend of mine ... I said my "strong box" as it holds all my important documents and is easy to grab. 

 Did a SUGGEST on this post as I think its something we should all think about before we need the answer.

Thanks for commenting, Gwynn.  Funny you should pose that question.  I teach a 5:30 am cycling class at a local gym.  My riders are always telling me that they could hear me saying, ". . . . " whatever they needed to hear when they were in a tough part of a ride.  And, they always say, "You're in my head."  I'm still thinking about my 60 second grab.
