Valentines Day, during an outage, I decided to buy the crew some donuts and I chose to eat one too. That one donut turned out to not be one donut and I ate another one later that day as well as the next day. It did not stop there though as I ate like shit all throughout the outage, didn't do dishes, laundry or cleaned up around the place I'm renting for this project. So my realization was coming home and seeing a disaster the day the gas was turned on after the work for the outage was completed and this all started with one donut but I allowed it. So my question to you is a donut just a donut? It would have been way easier to do one small thing in each of those areas each day so when I finally couldn't tolerate the chaos anymore, actually doing something about. This is the reason I teach men and women to set quarterly targets and how to plan their week properly to be able to recognize and address when you are drifting before it's too late. Now did I drift, yes....was I exhausted...yes...would I have exhausted either way if I cleaned up and cooked a little each day...absolutely! Where in your life are you choosing a level of tolerance that you do not like. Sit back and relax and listen to TODAY'S TALE FROM THE TRENCH.
