Too much to do and not enough time to do it in is a common phrase spoken by many, lived by many, but understood only by few.
When we are given tasks, assignments, projects and homework in school, they tell you it will prepare you for the life journey ahead withe a future employer. We are programmed from our youth up to expect our selves to do everything and have everything be done at the end of the day else we will fail, and we consider ourselves as that specific failure.
Heaven forbid any of us should feel so...
Between individual cultures, needs, environments, perceptions, paradigms, realities, parallel realities, imagined realities, and what actually needs to get done, only one truth remains... proper prioritization to proficient problem solving.
Harvard came out with a style, emphasized by S.R. Covey on 7 Habits, and utilized within the work force. For me, and possibly others, the clash still exists within the soul, the student, the academic that resides in the far recesses of my brain to go our and destroy each task to precision. A sense of urgency develops, a tense feeling tingles across the epidermis each morning, resulting in shivers, shakes, and all together nauseousness at eight.
Before hand it was a grade... now it is a career.
Forthcoming I must be, and realize that unlike formal education, there is one aspect that I have yet to grasp and ascertain, and that is the human element, the soft science, the art of manipulation, randomization, luck, and more importantly, taking time to sip on a preferred beverage of choice.
What may be seen as a most didactic moment, such that if not embraced, would lead to my downfall, evaporates into the hours and a fruit grows. This fruit is a positive result, nurtured with panic, stress, anxiety, more stress, a few gray hairs, and an altogether ol' fashioned American know how.
When the direction is set, and the benefit is seen, proven, and appreciated by one, the rest will follow like sheep to new pasture, or lemmings to their fall.
Take care and mind your step and realize, you only have to open the gate to success, others will follow.
Next time on Primer: The difference between problem solving and goal achieving.
