By way of reminder…
De-stressing 101. Follow Route D4.
Delete. Pick a couple problems, a couple opportunities, a couple distractions, a couple things that are toward the bottom of your priority list and simply decide not to do them.
Delay. Pick a couple of the above items and decide to delay them. Purposely put them on hold.
Delegate. Pick a couple from the shrinking list above and decide to let somebody else do them. Delegate the responsibility and the authority. For the control freaks reading this, I know what you’re thinking. IT won’t kill you…
DO. Pick one of your priorities and take it through to completion. Finish one of your lingering ones. The relief will feel amazing. The momentum will be contagious and worth catching. AND, you will be modeling the way forward for those that pay attention and desire your leadership.
D4 is for you. D4 is simply choosing 4 productive actions in the overwhelming moment. Make this a discipline. AND, don’t forget to align your Purpose and your Worldview in the direction of your vision. This is what we call your Dream State. The alternative is a…
Nightmare.
Route D4 is the road you want but it’s only the ideal highway if you’re headed in the right direction. Do NOT stop and ask a bunch of strangers for directions. Do NOT simply follow where the majority of the traffic is headed. Do NOT choose to blindly follow the direction that Dad is taking. AND, do NOT pull off the road and just decide that doing nothing is an option. Head toward your Dream State. Of course, this requires that you’ve got a good internal compass and a good garmin to boot.
Done so.
