On eating elephants – Monday Morning Coffee

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Pareto Realty TN #251071

EVERYONE wants it done NOW!

Yep!

They’re clamoring for your attention and DEMANDING that you deal with their issue IMMEDIATELY!

The “To-Do” list continues to grow and grow and grow until suddenly it becomes larger than life . . .

As if someone handed plopped an elephant on your plate and told you to eat the whole thing by sundown.

Lack of preparation on other people’s part shouldn’t create an EMERGENCY for you!

Don’t let “them” do this to you!

STOP!

ASSESS!

PRIORITIZE!

TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION!

Don’t let yourself get sucked into the myth that you’ve gotta eat the WHOLE elephant.

After all, not all parts are edible.

and don’t forget the seasoning to help things be more palatable (Keep your sense of humor and stop taking everything so seriously).

It’s OK to spontaneously burst into song . . . or whistle while you work . . . or do a little jig at your desk.

Focus FIRST on the things that matter most and tune the rest OUT.

Create your own safe space within which YOU are “in control” and stay there until you’ve met YOUR goals for the day.

There now . . . FREEDOM!

(You’re welcome!)

Thanks Barry - One of my favorite sayings, "Lack of preparation on other people's part shouldn't create an emergency for you."

Barry- this is what Monday mornings used to remind me of when I worked in a larger company.  It got to the point where i dreaded going in on a Monday.
