IronyLet me start with a personal introduction and confession.I want to give you one technical slide during this workshop – ready… it has some “Birkman” language on it – so brace yourself
A birkman component called “Structure” = measures organization and orderliness.The ability or willingness to deal with details, follow plans and finish tasks – use a systematized approach.Now I know – if you came to this session – you either are really good at this and want to gloat at the rest of us or…You’re like me -
There it is – that’s my structure score.It’s not out of 20 – it’s from 1 to 99So you’re in good company. None of what we’re about to go through together comes from any natural ability on my part.I have done what probably most of you have:To do listsDaytimerPriority managerAbc 123 priority settingNothing seemed to quite nail it for me – or at least stick around very long.There were flaws in all of the plansTo do lists – didn’t organize me – they just depressed me. A jumbled list of stuff – some of which was clear actions – some was just vague reminders. Some was important some not.Priority manager – required me to use a very specific set of tools – and some times it wasn’t clear to me what my priorities actually were a week ahead of time. It was ok in broad terms – but it didn’t actully help me minute to minute.Same with the abc 123 priority systems
The problem is our brainIt’s a fantastic problem solver. Very creative. Good thinker (within reason). Learns well – remembers skills and informationBUT – it’s a lousy reminder!It worries about this all the time – what if I forget that email I was supposed to send to my Leonard? I better remind Paul just in case – so half way through this presentation my brain brings up – email Leonard.How helpful is that exactly?You’re brain’s doing it too isn’t it.We’re not even 5 minutes into this workshop and I know you’ve already thought about something else you need to remember. “I need to sign up for that sports event.
