• Essentialism: Idea #123

    As we move into a season where less is more, I found these thoughts helpful: ‘Essentialism is about the pursuit of less and being more selective about what is essential in our lives….The way of the Essentialist means living by design, not by default….Essentialism is about creating a system for handling the wardrobe of our lives….Essentialism is not about how to get more things done; it’s about how to get the right things done….If you don’t prioritize your life, someone else will.’ (GF) How is your Essentialism coming along?

  • Solve: Idea #122

    How about some simple tips on dealing with problems? ‘Don’t add to the problem, solve it, and simplify it. Keep your problems very simple, break them down into manageable parts, and deal with the one you have “in the moment” before moving on to the next one.’ (J.Maxwell) If I were to paraphrase all that, I’d say: Start by breaking up your problem into small issues you can solve one at a time, don’t make it any bigger or worse than what it actually is, and finally, finish finding the solution to the first small bit before tackling the next bit. Perhaps it’s not always that easy, or that simple, however if we try to approach things this way, many times we’ll surprise ourselves with what we’ve actually achieved. Now let’s go do some problem solving!

  • Work Ethic: Idea #121

    One of the lessons taught to me by my parents was the value of a strong work ethic. Not being a workaholic, just working hard and working well. Laziness was never an option in our family, we all needed to contribute (if not, there would have been discontent within the siblings). It’s the same with the people we work with, our teams, our stakeholders, our supporting teams – we all need to contribute diligently and work hard together to achieve the outcomes we want. It’s so easy to think a job or task “belongs” to someone else, however, if we are ready to pick up work that might otherwise “fall through the cracks”, we will find ourselves in a position of successful achievement that is truly rewarding.
