"Experience is but a moment. Making sense of that experience is a life."

Moments matter...

This week's quote is from Nancy Kline's Time To Think

"Giving everyone a turn increases the intelligence of groups. Knoiwing they won't be interrupted frees people to think faster and say less."

Will you give everyone a turn this week?

Who's in the driver's seat?

The future landed snack-bang in the present for me in San Francisco this week with my first experience in a Waymo autonomous - and that means driver-less - car.

Enjoy the ride...

When a group comes together, noise is easy.

Just a few people have to make a commotion for noise to happen.

But silence requires everyone to be in sync.

Every day, the world will drag by the hand, yelling, "This is important! And this! And this!" And each day, it's up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, "No. This is what's important."

What's important this week?

We all find it hard to be disciplined

And #energy...
just like #time #attention & #money...
is a resource we need to manage

Because energy without direction is just heat

⬇️

Energy with direction is the work we need to be doing

"Once you've hit a ball there's no point watching where it's going. You can't change its flight path now. You have to think about your next move. Not what you should have done. What you do now."

I've just finished reading Presence: An Exploration of Profound Change in People, Organizations, and Society & have left many orange tabs on its pages to help me navigate the sections I would like to revisit.

Books like this are a keeper for me.

Profound reading.
