This tweet is true, but the dark side is that there are days I fall into the prioritization trap and do zero things instead of 1 thing. twitter.com/vgr/status/124

Some days I do end up doing multiple things, but only when I’m being driven by other people’s priorities. And then it wipes me out. Left to my own devices I’m on the 1 thing/day plan.

Damn what a week. I did more than one thing per day on at least 3 days. How the hell do you guys do this all the time.

I did 1 thing on my own initiative today, and 2 small client things that didn’t require any initiative on my part. The scarce commodity is initiative I think. Reactive autopilot is merely draining, since it uses an existing fixed orientation or borrowed orientation.

So to say you can only do 1 thing per day is to say you can only bootstrap an orientation on your own once per day. I’m currently on 1/day, but when younger I could do 3-4/day. Without even taking a nap.

Manager time vs maker time is a special case. A manager doing 4 one-hour things and a maker doing one 4-hour thing are both likely in a single orientation throughout. Most managers only have a single “business” orientation. They run through several *situations* between breaks.

Real breaks are the “tells” of reorientation. A nap is the most extreme reset.

One way Covid has been hard on me is that my reset breaks used to be location changes. No third place means no second wind in a day.
Orientation = new wind 🤔

I can’t even do a little mid-day loop walk these days because of heat and pollution.
And the “gym” instead of being a pleasant break is an annoying reconfiguration of bedroom (we have a weight bench and bowflex weights but it’s in a cramped space that takes some confit to useO
