Don't get behind the power curve

In this podcast episode, the speaker discusses the concept of 'getting behind the power curve,' a term commonly used by pilots. The power curve refers to a situation where an aircraft doesn't have enough power to maintain its speed and altitude, leading to a potential crash. The speaker applies this concept to the context of the SEAL teams, explaining that it also refers to being overwhelmed and falling behind in mission preparation. Having numerous tasks and a strict timeline, the speaker emphasizes the importance of staying ahead of the power curve by avoiding procrastination, excessive perfectionism, and unnecessary deliberations.
