December is a
time when my schedule is jammed packed. The list of things to do often
seems endless. Planning meetings, Christmas preparation, kids’ concerts, kids’
recitals, and family gatherings are just a few of the things that are typically
added to an already crunched schedule.
When that happens, I tend to start operating in task mode. Let’s get these things done. I put my head
down and get to work. The sooner I can get them done, the quicker I can release
the stress that has accompanied the tasks.
It’s full speed ahead. Full speed
ahead is a great notion if you’re commanding a boat. It’s probably not such a
wise mode of operation for any other endeavor.
And in reality, it didn’t do the Titanic much good either.
