Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 2/3/14
February 3, 2014—Issue #228
This week’s focus point: TODAY IS NOT OVER YET! Some of you reading this lose energy, lose interest, and lose focus as the day progresses. People fall into a declivity as morning turns to afternoon. We need to organize ourselves for power and progress, learn to rebound from momentary setbacks, say “No” to intrusions and inappropriate requests, create perpetual energy for ourselves. While that involves health and attitude, it mostly depends on our ability to schedule and organize around our strengths. We’re all capable of speeding up and working more intently. Find your “rhythm” and create your music around it instead of marching to others’ beats. “Bad days” aren’t inflicted on us, we create them. Be selfish if you want to help others: organize your day around your own priorities, objectives, and energy. Don’t think that the day is over before it really is. Today is not over yet.
Monday Morning Perspective: To act without knowing why; to do things as they have always been done, without asking why; to engage in an activity all one’s life without really understanding what it is about and how it relates to other things–this is to be one of the crowd. — Meng Tzu (Mencious) 379-289 BC
