Can You Handle It?!

Posted on May 30, 2024

Some people say that God doesn’t give you anything you can’t handle. It’s a great statement, whether you believe in God or not.

If you live by that idea, you’ll always believe you can handle anything that comes your way. Then, almost always, with a good perspective, that will be true.

It may get mighty uncomfortable at times, and for far longer than you’d like to endure. However, if you know you’ll be able to handle it and the darkness won’t last forever, you’ll know there is light at the end of the tunnel and make it through.

Spend Time Together

Whether it is with your spouse, child, parent or friends, make sure to carve out time each week to spend some time together.

Do fun things, silly things and also have important chats. Build those relationships deeply.

You have only one life to do it in and it goes quick. Make sure you put 10-20 minutes in daily and at least weekly (in busier times).

Let Things Play Out

Posted on May 24, 2024

Relax. A million years have passed without your input or navigation. Perhaps letting things play out would be a good idea. The idea that your very limited experience in all things in the world and ability to coordinate 8 billion lives, or even one more than yours, will be better than all those that went before you, might be a bit of a stretch.

Unless you can predict, second, third and fourth order consequences for your own life with exceptional accuracy, then it is probably time to let things play out for everyone else. Besides, you might find all that relaxing rather enjoyable.

Plan Your Calendar

Posted on May 21, 2024

Aim to get three big things done each day. Build these three things into your calendar. Actually assess the amount of time it will take to do the thing. Then book that amount of time in your calendar, including timed breaks.

Then when that time comes up, do the thing you’re supposed to do, exclusively. Do not multi-task. Do not answer calls or look at notifications. Just get the work done so you never have to do it again.

Close Loops

Posted on May 19, 2024

Each time we start something we are best to finish it or cancel it. We need to close the open loop.

You see, when you start a conversation, a project, a task or even an idea in your head, you open a loop. Your mind will keep coming back to this loop until it is closed in some way – completed, cancelled, accepted.

This revisiting of these open loops can drain you of energy and decision making power. That is not good. It leaves less energy for current important things. So every time you can, Close an open loop. You’ll feel lighter and be more effective.
