There are days where we just get crazy busy. My weakness is having a million projects in progress, all partially completed, which create endless distractions.

I love the model that ducks look calm above the water but are paddling like crazy underneath.

So let’s focus on that calmness for a moment.

It’s not about faking the illusion of being under control. Well, OK, I do that sometimes. But it’s really more about having the clear vision of where I’m going and the overall path to get there.

Vision and direction.

So sure, work hard on all those tasks that need attending to. But take time to make the important decisions about where you’re going. And why.
