– TRANSCRIPT –
[00:00:00] David Wood: We need to guard our attention jealously. So we’ve got two personalities inside us. We’ve got multiple, but let’s deal with the big two. A CEO who can make executive decisions and plan and say, no, we’re not going to do that. I’ve got discipline. And then we’ve got a worker and the worker just wants to handle everything right now.
[00:00:22] David Wood: Worker can roll up the sleeves, take direction and get things done. We need to guard that work as attention. We can’t have a whole bunch of people coming in, oh, do this now. And I know you’ve got a plan for today, but let’s do this and we need to guard our attention jealously. So for example, I made a mistake five minutes before this podcast of checking my text messages.
[00:00:47] David Wood: And there was something from the real estate agent wants me to initial something. That’s not a kindness. To my brain, because now you’re thinking about it. And then I went and did it. And yet the CEO has given me a plan for the day. I’ve got the plan, so that wasn’t a kindness sometimes checking your email before you go to bed or before you’re going to stop work for the day, may not be a kindness because then can you really switch off?
[00:01:16] David Wood: And so knowing that about your own brain, I think can make a lot easier to set up. Okay. I won’t check text messages for the next two hours. I won’t check my email until I’ve done the things that I’ve set myself. It’s just be kind to ourself.
