You have way more minutes in your day to day life available to you that you thing. They are just easily given to distractions or just not thinking about it and thus not thinking about how much such minutes we all have every year. Train a habit of start writing or adding to a project of your chose when you find yourself waiting for a meeting to start, or things are delayed and you have to wait. Instead of just "see what's new", give yourself the gift of having written a few sentence, made a notes on the next design etc or whatever you are creating. Once you have a bigger block of time you have something to start from helping momentum alot. Reminding us of that we will eventually runt short of minutes often helps see who and what accomplishments you will remember when you are 150 years old. And yes, I believe you are living in the age where those you take care of themselves will live longer than those who don't. just mere hundred years ago the average lifespan was 32 or something similar. Thinking of your future self will make you step up for what matters, and let go what doesn't. But also in the short run. Thinking about a deadline this week, and in case you need to reprioritize a day or two before that. Where would you rather leave them if so? Often reminding ourself of that we might run short of time preparing or doing what we should helps us see our accomplishments in a new light. often it also helps us see the one we are helping in another light as well. Mind your minutes, its the most finite resource you have to give, and you will never get any wasted back (but perhaps a lesson learned but thats for another cast?)

The power of I dont know and default models around uncertainty & risk We need to teach It's OK to say, "I don't know but I could look into it for you before friday" but also teach to separate uncertainty and risk. likewise teach those around you that dubt and uncertainty is welcome. Its not to be feared but then as a leader we need to reward the effort and the bet in a decision, not just the outcome. What is not surrounded by uncertainty cannot be the truth. accepting and clearly stating I dont know when we dont, lend us credibility when we say we do and we will. We also need to accept the really strong power of defaults for when its uncertain and risky. Dont just reward the positive choices. For example in computing: The power of default. if there is no specified models for for THIS server we just found on the network we make it a member of model X. Dont build your I dont know on positive choices for all X we do A for all Y we do B that will leave you with servers same with following up incidents same with following up leads Only then can we ask ourselvese: "Did it work for its intended?" or what happened? Scope creep? lack of courage? to much courage and to little data? or whats the lesson for next your next bet on the outcome that matters for the process you're working on? embracing reality, theoriy, antithesis, experiments and data It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, You need to re-learn what you think you know. Please work hard to surround yourself with people who live that mindset instead of behaving in other ways.
