Choosing your Change

How many things have changed for you in the last week? A few dozen? A couple hundred? A thousand? We are facing unprecedented levels of change affecting everything from our personal lives to our professional; our physical health to our mental. Not only are you navigating ridiculous set-ups like taking a video call propped up in your laundry room, many of you are also figuring out how to homeschool your kids, all while navigating massive changes at work and in the health of yourself and your loved ones. And perhaps like me you have decided that without gym access, now is the time to become a runner (evidence not all changes are welcomed or going well…)

Today’s changemaker tip is that when you are facing so much change, be selective in the changes you decide to address at any given time. There are a thousand changes worthy of your attention. Be essential and focus on the most important ones first. That might mean letting some smaller changes sit unaddressed for a bit. That’s okay! Commit to prioritizing a few crucial changes or you risk burnout and ineffectiveness as your efforts get spread far too thin. Choose fewer changes, and respond better to them.

What changes are you committing to addressing the next few days?
