Protecting Your Own Borders
No judgements from me on the recent American politics because I simply don’t know enough to make an intelligent contribution to any debates. But what I do know is there’s been a lot of talk about ‘protecting our borders’ which implies that there’s some sort of threat involved in not doing that.
As we pass the halfway mark of this final Term, we are certainly facing some threats – there are plenty of things that if not protected will lead to problems for you, your family, and by association, your kura.
Things like –
Space to think
Time to prioritise
Sleep
Exercise
Food
Being available to your team
Completing people based work
Your entire calendar for the next 4 weeks is yours to organise as you see fit. I suggest that spending 20 minutes this weekend identifying your non-negotiable borders and building some metaphorical fences is time very well spent.
Proactive is sustainable – reactive is not.
