You started out with a clear plan for a productive day, and somehow it spiralled out of control and DESPITE working through the night, you got NOTHING done that you wanted to. Sound familiar? I've been there. The unfortunate truth is that the best laid plans almost NEVER go to plan. Customers complain. Machines break down. Team members make mistakes. Family members get sick. A competitor steals an idea. The list of possible disruptions is endless. And they will happen at some point or another. Although we are all at the mercy of these distractions and cannot eliminate them from our lives, it IS possible to take back control of your day by controlling the things we can, in order to better respond to the things we can't.
