Predictability: When I get it right

Setup, the less I have to think about it, the better. Whether I'm presenting a seminar or racing a triathlon, not having to think DURING the event is key to a strong performance.

But that freedom isn't free. I labor over the details, practice "off the field," wake up in the middle of the night with the next great experiment and ask mentors for advice all the time.

I'm always amazed by the amount of time I get when I'm prepared to do what it is I am planning to do. This morning, I actually had time to draft 3 pages of ideas into my new spiral-bound notebook (all about the chapter I'm writing this week on feedback and the process of career development).

If you can predict it, anticipate it. And, if you're that close, do something about it now so that it's easier then!
