You can fool everyone else, but you can't fool your own mind.

Most people move actually into high performance in a crisis because that creates the kind of focus that creates high performance.

You can fool everyone else, but you can't fool your own mind.

It's hard to be fully creative without structure and constraint. Try to paint without a canvas. Creativity and freedom are two sides of the same coin. I like the best of both worlds. Want freedom? Get organized. Want to get organized? Get creative.

It is a tricky business to know when you should set goals and objectives in order to achieve a focus, and when you would be better off dealing with the acceptance and management of your current reality so you can later step into new directions and responsibilities with greater stability and clarity. Only you will know the answer to that, and only in the moment.

You don't manage priorities, you have them.

You don't actually do a project; you can only do action steps related to it.
