Episode notes
Firehose Seasons Are Normal
- Firehose seasons, periods of overwhelming chaos and demands, are a normal part of life.
- Don't blame yourself for these periods; they often occur independently of our actions.
Slow Down
- Counterintuitively, slow down when life feels overwhelming.
- Taking deep breaths and pausing helps to calm your body and mind.
Urgency Triage
- Practice "urgency triage": prioritize tasks based on importance and urgency.
- Use tools like the Eisenhower Matrix or "now, soon, later" lists.
