16 \n00:00:35,910 –> 00:00:41,820 \nwell pretty well how’s it going with you<\/p>\n
17 \n00:00:37,670 –> 00:00:43,770 \nI’ve discovered that I’ve managed to do<\/p>\n
18 \n00:00:41,820 –> 00:00:47,250 \nsomething unfortunate to my Chromebook<\/p>\n
19 \n00:00:43,770 –> 00:00:49,110 \nthere’s a setting in most of these that<\/p>\n
20 \n00:00:47,250 –> 00:00:51,660 \nallow you to change your trackpad to<\/p>\n
21 \n00:00:49,110 –> 00:00:53,760 \nwhat’s called Australian mode and I’m<\/p>\n
22 \n00:00:51,660 –> 00:00:57,690 \nthinking oh that would be cool no it<\/p>\n
23 \n00:00:53,760 –> 00:01:03,210 \nturns the trackpad upside down like the<\/p>\n
24 \n00:00:57,690 –> 00:01:05,100 \ntoilets right roll is now upside down<\/p>\n
25 \n00:01:03,210 –> 00:01:07,680 \nnow so my prod productivity is<\/p>\n
26 \n00:01:05,100 –> 00:01:12,060 \nofficially half today because every<\/p>\n
27 \n00:01:07,680 –> 00:01:14,400 \nscroll is taking twice so yep yep I<\/p>\n
28 \n00:01:12,060 –> 00:01:16,830 \ntotally get that that’s like the on max<\/p>\n
29 \n00:01:14,400 –> 00:01:19,380 \nyou can you can scroll two finger scroll<\/p>\n
30 \n00:01:16,830 –> 00:01:21,810 \nup or down on the touchpad and of course<\/p>\n
31 \n00:01:19,380 –> 00:01:24,930 \nI’m very skeuomorphic so I believe that<\/p>\n
32 \n00:01:21,810 –> 00:01:26,759 \nthe pad should be you should push up in<\/p>\n
33 \n00:01:24,930 –> 00:01:28,200 \norder to push a piece of paper up and so<\/p>\n
34 \n00:01:26,759 –> 00:01:30,540 \ntherefore that should be the way the<\/p>\n
35 \n00:01:28,200 –> 00:01:33,000 \nbrowser and all browsing should take<\/p>\n
36 \n00:01:30,540 –> 00:01:35,430 \nplace on the screen other people<\/p>\n
37 \n00:01:33,000 –> 00:01:37,409 \nswipe down as though you have a cursor<\/p>\n
38 \n00:01:35,430 –> 00:01:39,960 \nright so if you take the cursor to the<\/p>\n
39 \n00:01:37,409 –> 00:01:41,909 \nscroll bar you would drag it down but<\/p>\n
40 \n00:01:39,960 –> 00:01:44,070 \nthat’s actually not how you would swipe<\/p>\n
41 \n00:01:41,909 –> 00:01:46,979 \non a screen most certainly not<\/p>\n
42 \n00:01:44,070 –> 00:01:48,750 \nso I’ve matched the screen concept and<\/p>\n
43 \n00:01:46,979 –> 00:01:52,649 \nthere’s a hefty debate about which is<\/p>\n
44 \n00:01:48,750 –> 00:01:54,899 \nthe quote-unquote right way but well I’m<\/p>\n
45 \n00:01:52,649 –> 00:01:57,630 \ngoing to need to internet Sarah here the<\/p>\n
46 \n00:01:54,899 –> 00:01:59,790 \nright way is sweet hop as you were<\/p>\n
47 \n00:01:57,630 –> 00:02:02,340 \ndescribing the other ways a Windows way<\/p>\n
48 \n00:01:59,790 –> 00:02:05,490 \ndidn’t work on Windows hasn’t work well<\/p>\n
49 \n00:02:02,340 –> 00:02:07,799 \nin Windows I may need to say but you<\/p>\n
50 \n00:02:05,490 –> 00:02:09,690 \nknow us with the water on the toilet<\/p>\n
51 \n00:02:07,799 –> 00:02:12,750 \nhappened I don’t know if that discussion<\/p>\n
52 \n00:02:09,690 –> 00:02:13,560 \nbut let me say it the Australian Way as<\/p>\n
53 \n00:02:12,750 –> 00:02:16,470 \nyour discs are<\/p>\n
54 \n00:02:13,560 –> 00:02:18,840 \nis what the Mac did in virgin years ago<\/p>\n
55 \n00:02:16,470 –> 00:02:20,580 \nI don’t remember now which operating<\/p>\n
56 \n00:02:18,840 –> 00:02:22,800 \nsystem when they invert it to make it<\/p>\n
57 \n00:02:20,580 –> 00:02:25,500 \nexactly what ray was describing you want<\/p>\n
58 \n00:02:22,800 –> 00:02:28,410 \nto go up you push it so the screen goes<\/p>\n
59 \n00:02:25,500 –> 00:02:31,140 \nup and down that is after you I agree<\/p>\n
60 \n00:02:28,410 –> 00:02:33,900 \nthat if you have never used it at the<\/p>\n
61 \n00:02:31,140 –> 00:02:36,120 \nbeginning it takes a little bit more but<\/p>\n
62 \n00:02:33,900 –> 00:02:40,680 \nas soon as you get used when you need to<\/p>\n
63 \n00:02:36,120 –> 00:02:43,140 \ngo back to the cursor mode it it doesn’t<\/p>\n
64 \n00:02:40,680 –> 00:02:45,390 \nmakes the cursor mode doesn’t make sense<\/p>\n
65 \n00:02:43,140 –> 00:02:48,480 \nI don’t wait so you’re telling me that<\/p>\n
66 \n00:02:45,390 –> 00:02:51,720 \nthis Australian mode of scrolling is the<\/p>\n
67 \n00:02:48,480 –> 00:02:56,760 \nstandard on the Mac yeah I know to turn<\/p>\n
68 \n00:02:51,720 –> 00:03:02,880 \nit off thank you for making that<\/p>\n
69 \n00:02:56,760 –> 00:03:03,510 \ndecision easy well let’s let’s get back<\/p>\n
70 \n00:03:02,880 –> 00:03:06,030 \non track<\/p>\n
71 \n00:03:03,510 –> 00:03:08,640 \nand and it’s kind of the topic of our<\/p>\n
72 \n00:03:06,030 –> 00:03:10,200 \ndiscussion today which is back to work<\/p>\n
73 \n00:03:08,640 –> 00:03:12,140 \nwhat we’re talking about in terms of<\/p>\n
74 \n00:03:10,200 –> 00:03:16,049 \nback to work today is really how to<\/p>\n
75 \n00:03:12,140 –> 00:03:18,359 \nbecome productive after being away from<\/p>\n
76 \n00:03:16,049 –> 00:03:21,900 \nwork for a while and this could be<\/p>\n
77 \n00:03:18,359 –> 00:03:25,170 \nplanned and unplanned or unplanned time<\/p>\n
78 \n00:03:21,900 –> 00:03:28,440 \naway it could be short or long in terms<\/p>\n
79 \n00:03:25,170 –> 00:03:30,930 \nof duration and so I wanted to start off<\/p>\n
80 \n00:03:28,440 –> 00:03:33,359 \nwith what are the various reasons why<\/p>\n
81 \n00:03:30,930 –> 00:03:34,769 \npeople are away and Augusto maybe you<\/p>\n
82 \n00:03:33,359 –> 00:03:37,829 \ncan tell us a little bit about the<\/p>\n
83 \n00:03:34,769 –> 00:03:40,410 \nimpetus the genesis for having brought<\/p>\n
84 \n00:03:37,829 –> 00:03:44,100 \nup this topic in the first place so my<\/p>\n
85 \n00:03:40,410 –> 00:03:46,950 \nwife and I have never take a lot of<\/p>\n
86 \n00:03:44,100 –> 00:03:49,049 \nvacation understanding location you know<\/p>\n
87 \n00:03:46,950 –> 00:03:51,269 \nthe the families who are people who go<\/p>\n
88 \n00:03:49,049 –> 00:03:53,609 \nand say okay the next seven days I’m<\/p>\n
89 \n00:03:51,269 –> 00:03:57,359 \ngoing to go somewhere on off and I’m not<\/p>\n
90 \n00:03:53,609 –> 00:04:00,049 \ngoing to check work email and stuff my<\/p>\n
91 \n00:03:57,359 –> 00:04:04,799 \nwife and I have been travel with our<\/p>\n
92 \n00:04:00,049 –> 00:04:08,480 \nwork year for years and we may take a<\/p>\n
93 \n00:04:04,799 –> 00:04:11,069 \nafternoon off but even when we go and<\/p>\n
94 \n00:04:08,480 –> 00:04:12,870 \ntravel to a different country or to a<\/p>\n
95 \n00:04:11,069 –> 00:04:16,289 \ndifferent city we always travel with<\/p>\n
96 \n00:04:12,870 –> 00:04:19,500 \nwork you know there is something that we<\/p>\n
97 \n00:04:16,289 –> 00:04:21,479 \nfind rewarding about being able to work<\/p>\n
98 \n00:04:19,500 –> 00:04:23,909 \non a different city and on a different<\/p>\n
99 \n00:04:21,479 –> 00:04:26,889 \nenvironment and in many cases even super<\/p>\n
100 \n00:04:23,909 –> 00:04:30,909 \nproductive so<\/p>\n
101 \n00:04:26,889 –> 00:04:33,789 \nso we we have never really suffered<\/p>\n
102 \n00:04:30,909 –> 00:04:37,060 \nnecessarily what people came or called<\/p>\n
103 \n00:04:33,789 –> 00:04:40,240 \nit the back to work backlog you know but<\/p>\n
104 \n00:04:37,060 –> 00:04:44,020 \nrecently we took a trip to New Jersey<\/p>\n
105 \n00:04:40,240 –> 00:04:48,120 \nand I was particularly exhausted from<\/p>\n
106 \n00:04:44,020 –> 00:04:52,629 \nwork so I decided to Monday off and<\/p>\n
107 \n00:04:48,120 –> 00:04:56,979 \nMonday roll into Tuesday of Tuesday roll<\/p>\n
108 \n00:04:52,629 –> 00:04:58,629 \ninto Friday somehow so when when I came<\/p>\n
109 \n00:04:56,979 –> 00:05:02,500 \nback to the office<\/p>\n
110 \n00:04:58,629 –> 00:05:07,979 \non on Monday I really have a significant<\/p>\n
111 \n00:05:02,500 –> 00:05:11,500 \nbacklog of his stuff to take care of and<\/p>\n
112 \n00:05:07,979 –> 00:05:13,469 \nit brought the point of all this is what<\/p>\n
113 \n00:05:11,500 –> 00:05:17,919 \npeople mean was a terrible backlog and<\/p>\n
114 \n00:05:13,469 –> 00:05:23,939 \nnow what I’m going to to do with all<\/p>\n
115 \n00:05:17,919 –> 00:05:28,810 \nthis so that’s how the topic of the show<\/p>\n
116 \n00:05:23,939 –> 00:05:31,659 \ncame I was curious of if we’re riu SFIL<\/p>\n
117 \n00:05:28,810 –> 00:05:34,690 \nfor people to get tools on how to get<\/p>\n
118 \n00:05:31,659 –> 00:05:36,669 \nback after those kind of things then the<\/p>\n
119 \n00:05:34,690 –> 00:05:42,610 \nother thing that happened to me so I<\/p>\n
120 \n00:05:36,669 –> 00:05:45,370 \nwent for work to Vegas and I’m back into<\/p>\n
121 \n00:05:42,610 –> 00:05:48,550 \nthe office and it was for a trade show<\/p>\n
122 \n00:05:45,370 –> 00:05:50,379 \nso most of my day was during the trade<\/p>\n
123 \n00:05:48,550 –> 00:05:53,050 \nshow even that I did some of the stuff<\/p>\n
124 \n00:05:50,379 –> 00:05:57,599 \nat night in the hotel so today I have a<\/p>\n
125 \n00:05:53,050 –> 00:06:00,520 \nnice pack of paper in front of my desk<\/p>\n
126 \n00:05:57,599 –> 00:06:03,729 \nthat is also part of that backlog of<\/p>\n
127 \n00:06:00,520 –> 00:06:05,650 \ngetting back to work so I proposed the<\/p>\n
128 \n00:06:03,729 –> 00:06:09,279 \ntopic because I thought it was going to<\/p>\n
129 \n00:06:05,650 –> 00:06:12,129 \nbe interesting how everybody here deal<\/p>\n
130 \n00:06:09,279 –> 00:06:14,050 \nwith that because I’m sure and in one<\/p>\n
131 \n00:06:12,129 –> 00:06:17,650 \nway or the other do you guys have deal<\/p>\n
132 \n00:06:14,050 –> 00:06:20,589 \nwith this going away from work for X<\/p>\n
133 \n00:06:17,650 –> 00:06:23,830 \nnumber of days and coming back to the<\/p>\n
134 \n00:06:20,589 –> 00:06:26,409 \nbacklog but also with the need of catch<\/p>\n
135 \n00:06:23,830 –> 00:06:28,449 \nup to speed as soon as possible yeah I<\/p>\n
136 \n00:06:26,409 –> 00:06:31,300 \nwanted to I want to also say that you<\/p>\n
137 \n00:06:28,449 –> 00:06:33,729 \nknow not just for a work trip like you<\/p>\n
138 \n00:06:31,300 –> 00:06:38,800 \ndid or a family vacation you know there<\/p>\n
139 \n00:06:33,729 –> 00:06:40,330 \ncan be other kinds of times away from<\/p>\n
140 \n00:06:38,800 –> 00:06:42,550 \nwork you know this could be<\/p>\n
141 \n00:06:40,330 –> 00:06:44,710 \nfor illness or surgery whether that be a<\/p>\n
142 \n00:06:42,550 –> 00:06:48,129 \npositive or you know a corrective<\/p>\n
143 \n00:06:44,710 –> 00:06:51,159 \nsurgery you know the maternity and or<\/p>\n
144 \n00:06:48,129 –> 00:06:53,500 \npaternity leave if you adhere to maybe<\/p>\n
145 \n00:06:51,159 –> 00:06:54,969 \nTim Ferriss as concepts of of these mini<\/p>\n
146 \n00:06:53,500 –> 00:06:57,879 \nretirements you could have you could<\/p>\n
147 \n00:06:54,969 –> 00:06:59,919 \nhave taken some kind of sabbatical or if<\/p>\n
148 \n00:06:57,879 –> 00:07:01,780 \nyour professor or in academia you know<\/p>\n
149 \n00:06:59,919 –> 00:07:03,729 \nthere’s this idea of sabbaticals you<\/p>\n
150 \n00:07:01,780 –> 00:07:07,060 \ncould be away from work for planned<\/p>\n
151 \n00:07:03,729 –> 00:07:09,939 \nreasons that can be of a duration much<\/p>\n
152 \n00:07:07,060 –> 00:07:11,409 \nlonger than just a week or two so I want<\/p>\n
153 \n00:07:09,939 –> 00:07:14,409 \nus to all have this conversation about<\/p>\n
154 \n00:07:11,409 –> 00:07:17,349 \nboth planned and unplanned time away<\/p>\n
155 \n00:07:14,409 –> 00:07:20,199 \nfrom work and how to get back on and I<\/p>\n
156 \n00:07:17,349 –> 00:07:22,870 \nwanted to maybe start with the opposite<\/p>\n
157 \n00:07:20,199 –> 00:07:25,270 \nwhich is for that for that for those<\/p>\n
158 \n00:07:22,870 –> 00:07:29,400 \nsituations where we have planned to be<\/p>\n
159 \n00:07:25,270 –> 00:07:35,099 \naway what are some good ways to prepare<\/p>\n
160 \n00:07:29,400 –> 00:07:38,550 \nfor time away from work yeah well before<\/p>\n
161 \n00:07:35,099 –> 00:07:41,080 \nbefore I dive too deep into the idea of<\/p>\n
162 \n00:07:38,550 –> 00:07:45,539 \npreparing for the plan I think one of<\/p>\n
163 \n00:07:41,080 –> 00:07:50,020 \nthe biggest issues that you run into is<\/p>\n
164 \n00:07:45,539 –> 00:07:54,610 \npeople use the ability to work while<\/p>\n
165 \n00:07:50,020 –> 00:07:56,560 \nthey’re away as kind of a<\/p>\n
166 \n00:07:54,610 –> 00:08:00,639 \nget-out-of-jail-free card for actually<\/p>\n
167 \n00:07:56,560 –> 00:08:02,529 \ndoing proper planning somebody who is<\/p>\n

169 \n00:08:02,529 –> 00:08:06,699 \nweek of vacation if they’re going away<\/p>\n
170 \n00:08:04,930 –> 00:08:07,719 \nand they’re going to take their laptop<\/p>\n
171 \n00:08:06,699 –> 00:08:08,800 \nwith them they’re going to take their<\/p>\n
172 \n00:08:07,719 –> 00:08:10,419 \nsmartphone with them they’re going to<\/p>\n
173 \n00:08:08,800 –> 00:08:14,279 \ncheck their email things like that<\/p>\n
174 \n00:08:10,419 –> 00:08:18,789 \nthey’ve basically given themselves a<\/p>\n
175 \n00:08:14,279 –> 00:08:20,919 \nreason to not fully plan and prepare if<\/p>\n
176 \n00:08:18,789 –> 00:08:24,069 \nyou want to impress me plan to be<\/p>\n
177 \n00:08:20,919 –> 00:08:25,449 \ndisconnected for that time period yes<\/p>\n
178 \n00:08:24,069 –> 00:08:28,900 \nyou always have the option to connect<\/p>\n
179 \n00:08:25,449 –> 00:08:31,990 \nand if situations require it but set<\/p>\n
180 \n00:08:28,900 –> 00:08:34,300 \nyour planning up around not having to be<\/p>\n
181 \n00:08:31,990 –> 00:08:36,640 \nengaged in whatever you’re trying to<\/p>\n
182 \n00:08:34,300 –> 00:08:38,050 \ntake a vacation from that’s the only way<\/p>\n
183 \n00:08:36,640 –> 00:08:39,789 \nthis is really worthwhile otherwise<\/p>\n
184 \n00:08:38,050 –> 00:08:45,430 \nyou’re just working from a remote<\/p>\n
185 \n00:08:39,789 –> 00:08:49,290 \nlocation so with that being said I think<\/p>\n
186 \n00:08:45,430 –> 00:08:53,470 \nthe second part of the planned absence<\/p>\n
187 \n00:08:49,290 –> 00:08:54,160 \nreally is the self creating or self<\/p>\n
188 \n00:08:53,470 –> 00:08:57,370 \ngenerate<\/p>\n
189 \n00:08:54,160 –> 00:08:59,589 \nstress that we induce because we think<\/p>\n
190 \n00:08:57,370 –> 00:09:02,410 \nwe start to think about all the possible<\/p>\n
191 \n00:08:59,589 –> 00:09:04,269 \nthings that could go wrong and we start<\/p>\n
192 \n00:09:02,410 –> 00:09:06,579 \nto look at all the possible use cases<\/p>\n
193 \n00:09:04,269 –> 00:09:07,779 \nand we just build that stress level now<\/p>\n
194 \n00:09:06,579 –> 00:09:09,699 \nsome people don’t do that some people<\/p>\n
195 \n00:09:07,779 –> 00:09:11,139 \njust pack up and go and they’re like<\/p>\n
196 \n00:09:09,699 –> 00:09:13,600 \nwhatever you guys fend for yourselves<\/p>\n
197 \n00:09:11,139 –> 00:09:16,509 \nwhich is fine that’s one way of looking<\/p>\n
198 \n00:09:13,600 –> 00:09:19,300 \nat it but I think in many cases you find<\/p>\n
199 \n00:09:16,509 –> 00:09:20,949 \npeople who are just like well you know<\/p>\n
200 \n00:09:19,300 –> 00:09:22,930 \nthis could go wrong where this could<\/p>\n
201 \n00:09:20,949 –> 00:09:25,449 \nhappen or this could happen and how am I<\/p>\n
202 \n00:09:22,930 –> 00:09:28,180 \ngonna take that’s not planning that’s<\/p>\n
203 \n00:09:25,449 –> 00:09:31,899 \npanic and it’s gonna take away from<\/p>\n
204 \n00:09:28,180 –> 00:09:33,550 \nwhatever you’re off doing because in the<\/p>\n
205 \n00:09:31,899 –> 00:09:36,850 \nback of your mind you’re going to have<\/p>\n
206 \n00:09:33,550 –> 00:09:40,300 \nyou know as as allen talks about the<\/p>\n
207 \n00:09:36,850 –> 00:09:42,459 \nopen loops of these activities you’ve<\/p>\n
208 \n00:09:40,300 –> 00:09:44,079 \ngot to close those you’ve got to look at<\/p>\n
209 \n00:09:42,459 –> 00:09:45,819 \nall of those and say okay is this<\/p>\n
210 \n00:09:44,079 –> 00:09:47,589 \nsomething I can deal with is it<\/p>\n
211 \n00:09:45,819 –> 00:09:49,269 \nsomething I can I can set up an<\/p>\n
212 \n00:09:47,589 –> 00:09:50,800 \nopportunity to deal with it in advance<\/p>\n
213 \n00:09:49,269 –> 00:09:53,319 \nor is it just something that’s just<\/p>\n
214 \n00:09:50,800 –> 00:09:54,910 \ngonna have to wait and give your<\/p>\n
215 \n00:09:53,319 –> 00:09:58,569 \npermission give yourself permission to<\/p>\n
216 \n00:09:54,910 –> 00:10:00,819 \nallow things to wait there’s a lot of<\/p>\n
217 \n00:09:58,569 –> 00:10:03,130 \nmoving parts but when it really comes<\/p>\n
218 \n00:10:00,819 –> 00:10:06,910 \ndown to it if you think about those<\/p>\n
219 \n00:10:03,130 –> 00:10:09,220 \ndifferent plans cycles rarely are they<\/p>\n
220 \n00:10:06,910 –> 00:10:12,009 \ndifferent if you’re taking three days<\/p>\n
221 \n00:10:09,220 –> 00:10:14,350 \noff or two weeks off it’s just the<\/p>\n
222 \n00:10:12,009 –> 00:10:17,529 \nlength of time the things you have to<\/p>\n
223 \n00:10:14,350 –> 00:10:20,259 \ntake into consideration they may<\/p>\n
224 \n00:10:17,529 –> 00:10:22,720 \nincrease with time but they’re still<\/p>\n
225 \n00:10:20,259 –> 00:10:24,100 \ngoing to be the same core types of<\/p>\n
226 \n00:10:22,720 –> 00:10:25,449 \nthings that you have to deal with so if<\/p>\n
227 \n00:10:24,100 –> 00:10:28,389 \nyou give yourself permission to do a<\/p>\n
228 \n00:10:25,449 –> 00:10:30,579 \nmental exercise take a half hour take<\/p>\n
229 \n00:10:28,389 –> 00:10:33,970 \ntwo hours take four hours out of a week<\/p>\n
230 \n00:10:30,579 –> 00:10:36,459 \nand say how would I be prepared to leave<\/p>\n
231 \n00:10:33,970 –> 00:10:39,490 \nfor a week and go through that exercise<\/p>\n
232 \n00:10:36,459 –> 00:10:41,290 \nbefore you actually have to do it you<\/p>\n
233 \n00:10:39,490 –> 00:10:43,300 \nset yourself up for a lot more success<\/p>\n
234 \n00:10:41,290 –> 00:10:44,649 \nand you bring up David Allen in the<\/p>\n
235 \n00:10:43,300 –> 00:10:46,870 \ngetting things done methodology and<\/p>\n
236 \n00:10:44,649 –> 00:10:49,630 \nfrequently in David Allen’s talks he<\/p>\n
237 \n00:10:46,870 –> 00:10:52,269 \ntalks about this idea of how how would<\/p>\n
238 \n00:10:49,630 –> 00:10:54,100 \nyou feel if you operated as though you<\/p>\n
239 \n00:10:52,269 –> 00:10:56,970 \nwere leaving on vacation all the<\/p>\n
240 \n00:10:54,100 –> 00:10:58,750 \npreparatory work that you do in<\/p>\n
241 \n00:10:56,970 –> 00:11:00,490 \npreparation of leaving for work and<\/p>\n
242 \n00:10:58,750 –> 00:11:02,259 \nagain that goes back to your concept of<\/p>\n
243 \n00:11:00,490 –> 00:11:03,790 \nwhether you’re someone who just you know<\/p>\n
244 \n00:11:02,259 –> 00:11:05,709 \ndrops everything and walks away from<\/p>\n
245 \n00:11:03,790 –> 00:11:07,420 \nyour desk when you go on vacation or<\/p>\n
246 \n00:11:05,709 –> 00:11:09,340 \nwhether you’re somebody who<\/p>\n
247 \n00:11:07,420 –> 00:11:11,650 \nhas responsibility to others and<\/p>\n
248 \n00:11:09,340 –> 00:11:14,590 \ntherefore make sure that everyone kind<\/p>\n
249 \n00:11:11,650 –> 00:11:18,850 \nof is prepared for your leaving for your<\/p>\n
250 \n00:11:14,590 –> 00:11:20,470 \nabsence and I think that’s a completely<\/p>\n
251 \n00:11:18,850 –> 00:11:24,220 \nkind of different thing than what we’re<\/p>\n
252 \n00:11:20,470 –> 00:11:26,310 \ntalking about but kind of the same in a<\/p>\n
253 \n00:11:24,220 –> 00:11:30,220 \nlot of ways do you agree or disagree art<\/p>\n
254 \n00:11:26,310 –> 00:11:33,400 \nI think I agree and disagree because<\/p>\n
255 \n00:11:30,220 –> 00:11:35,590 \nit’s it really varies it’s very<\/p>\n
256 \n00:11:33,400 –> 00:11:39,370 \nindividual I mean if we try to put<\/p>\n
257 \n00:11:35,590 –> 00:11:42,070 \ntogether a core recommendation of this<\/p>\n
258 \n00:11:39,370 –> 00:11:44,350 \nis what you should do to prepare for a<\/p>\n
259 \n00:11:42,070 –> 00:11:46,660 \nweek’s vacation it’s going to be wrong<\/p>\n
260 \n00:11:44,350 –> 00:11:48,910 \n80% of the time for 80% of the people<\/p>\n
261 \n00:11:46,660 –> 00:11:50,170 \nbecause of what they do and what they<\/p>\n
262 \n00:11:48,910 –> 00:11:54,010 \nhave to take care of and how they have<\/p>\n
263 \n00:11:50,170 –> 00:11:58,570 \nto handle it there’s basic guidelines<\/p>\n
264 \n00:11:54,010 –> 00:12:01,990 \nthat we can all follow but when it<\/p>\n
265 \n00:11:58,570 –> 00:12:05,230 \nreally comes down to being able to<\/p>\n
266 \n00:12:01,990 –> 00:12:06,970 \nexecute and relax somewhere to be able<\/p>\n
267 \n00:12:05,230 –> 00:12:10,150 \nto go somewhere and sit on a beach or<\/p>\n
268 \n00:12:06,970 –> 00:12:14,680 \nyou know go to the mountains or go to an<\/p>\n
269 \n00:12:10,150 –> 00:12:17,410 \nevent or whatever and know that yep you<\/p>\n
270 \n00:12:14,680 –> 00:12:20,350 \nknow what everything’s handled that’s a<\/p>\n
271 \n00:12:17,410 –> 00:12:23,170 \nthat’s a really hard step in the process<\/p>\n
272 \n00:12:20,350 –> 00:12:26,890 \nand I think you have to start small you<\/p>\n
273 \n00:12:23,170 –> 00:12:30,370 \nhave to start with how would I do this<\/p>\n
274 \n00:12:26,890 –> 00:12:31,900 \nfor a day and not the okay I’ll deal<\/p>\n
275 \n00:12:30,370 –> 00:12:34,600 \nwith it when I get back I think that’s<\/p>\n
276 \n00:12:31,900 –> 00:12:38,310 \nprobably the biggest mistake if we let<\/p>\n
277 \n00:12:34,600 –> 00:12:42,430 \nourselves plan around recovery after<\/p>\n
278 \n00:12:38,310 –> 00:12:44,110 \nrather than dealing with before we’re<\/p>\n
279 \n00:12:42,430 –> 00:12:46,390 \njust setting ourselves up for a bad<\/p>\n
280 \n00:12:44,110 –> 00:12:49,780 \nstate because we we all know that the<\/p>\n
281 \n00:12:46,390 –> 00:12:51,370 \nwork doubles and triples one of my<\/p>\n
282 \n00:12:49,780 –> 00:12:53,620 \nco-workers came in this morning and he’s<\/p>\n
283 \n00:12:51,370 –> 00:12:55,600 \nhe’s like well let’s see I wonder what<\/p>\n
284 \n00:12:53,620 –> 00:12:58,110 \nthe over-under on the number of emails I<\/p>\n
285 \n00:12:55,600 –> 00:13:00,190 \ngot for being out if three days are and<\/p>\n
286 \n00:12:58,110 –> 00:13:01,810 \nwe were chuckling because I’m like well<\/p>\n
287 \n00:13:00,190 –> 00:13:06,280 \nyou’re probably looking at three digits<\/p>\n
288 \n00:13:01,810 –> 00:13:07,570 \nand that’s highly highly common so how<\/p>\n
289 \n00:13:06,280 –> 00:13:10,050 \ndo you prepare for that how do you<\/p>\n
290 \n00:13:07,570 –> 00:13:12,400 \nprepare for walking into that fire hose<\/p>\n
291 \n00:13:10,050 –> 00:13:14,800 \nthere’s only so much you can do and you<\/p>\n
292 \n00:13:12,400 –> 00:13:16,660 \nhave to realistically say you know I’m<\/p>\n
293 \n00:13:14,800 –> 00:13:18,580 \ngonna do the best I can to prep for this<\/p>\n
294 \n00:13:16,660 –> 00:13:21,400 \nand I’ll deal with things as they need<\/p>\n
295 \n00:13:18,580 –> 00:13:24,100 \nto but the more I can lay out<\/p>\n
296 \n00:13:21,400 –> 00:13:24,940 \naddress the better off I’m gonna be so I<\/p>\n
297 \n00:13:24,100 –> 00:13:26,320 \ndon’t know if that answered your<\/p>\n
298 \n00:13:24,940 –> 00:13:28,240 \nquestion or not but that’s kind of where<\/p>\n
299 \n00:13:26,320 –> 00:13:29,350 \nmy thing I get it I get it I don’t know<\/p>\n
300 \n00:13:28,240 –> 00:13:31,810 \nif have you ever taken the real vacation<\/p>\n
301 \n00:13:29,350 –> 00:13:37,720 \nno I’m listening to what real vacation<\/p>\n
302 \n00:13:31,810 –> 00:13:40,930 \nso sounds like I’m sort of aligned with<\/p>\n

305 \n00:13:45,400 –> 00:13:48,730 \nstruggling here because I think I should<\/p>\n
306 \n00:13:47,260 –> 00:13:50,290 \nbe thinking differently than what I’m<\/p>\n
307 \n00:13:48,730 –> 00:13:54,610 \nthinking because what I’m thinking is<\/p>\n
308 \n00:13:50,290 –> 00:13:58,150 \nthat you know in a world of work-life<\/p>\n
309 \n00:13:54,610 –> 00:14:00,730 \nintegration that there is no big V<\/p>\n
310 \n00:13:58,150 –> 00:14:02,890 \nvacation and and frankly I’m not I’m not<\/p>\n
311 \n00:14:00,730 –> 00:14:05,140 \nreally interested in a big V vacation in<\/p>\n
312 \n00:14:02,890 –> 00:14:07,390 \nthe sense that I sit on a beach I live a<\/p>\n

315 \n00:14:08,680 –> 00:14:16,750 \noh my god lucky well yeah but I don’t<\/p>\n

317 \n00:14:16,750 –> 00:14:20,350 \nthe beach big you know it’s kind of like<\/p>\n
318 \n00:14:19,030 –> 00:14:23,050 \nbut why would I do that you know it’s<\/p>\n
319 \n00:14:20,350 –> 00:14:25,150 \nnow I go to the beach and I love the<\/p>\n

321 \n00:14:25,150 –> 00:14:30,700 \nmountains every week but it’s a matter<\/p>\n
322 \n00:14:27,610 –> 00:14:32,530 \nof lifestyle as opposed to be so binary<\/p>\n
323 \n00:14:30,700 –> 00:14:34,000 \nwhich makes me think that there’s a lot<\/p>\n
324 \n00:14:32,530 –> 00:14:37,360 \nof people who may be in the same<\/p>\n
325 \n00:14:34,000 –> 00:14:39,520 \nposition which is that there there’s a<\/p>\n
326 \n00:14:37,360 –> 00:14:42,310 \nthere’s it’s more a matter of tuning<\/p>\n

357 \n00:15:54,740 –> 00:16:01,340 \nday I drop that I’m gonna be fighting<\/p>\n
358 \n00:15:58,370 –> 00:16:03,590 \nwith this balance but subtly shifting it<\/p>\n
359 \n00:16:01,340 –> 00:16:05,510 \nas opposed to turning it on are on if I<\/p>\n

366 \n00:16:16,610 –> 00:16:22,340 \nabsolutely and I think it’s really<\/p>\n
367 \n00:16:18,830 –> 00:16:25,100 \ninteresting that the I think I see it<\/p>\n
368 \n00:16:22,340 –> 00:16:26,690 \nvery similarly with the artists and your<\/p>\n
369 \n00:16:25,100 –> 00:16:28,220 \nwife as an example is actually a really<\/p>\n
370 \n00:16:26,690 –> 00:16:31,430 \ngood example here and then I’ll bring<\/p>\n

374 \n00:16:35,930 –> 00:16:38,750 \nI think there’s something something<\/p>\n
375 \n00:16:37,070 –> 00:16:40,880 \nsomething of great value there and I<\/p>\n
376 \n00:16:38,750 –> 00:16:42,710 \nthink that’s why time away for me is<\/p>\n
377 \n00:16:40,880 –> 00:16:45,770 \nactually more important than I’ve ever<\/p>\n
378 \n00:16:42,710 –> 00:16:48,410 \nvalued it in my life I mean I I was like<\/p>\n

380 \n00:16:48,410 –> 00:16:52,340 \nI’ve somewhat shifted now and I don’t<\/p>\n
381 \n00:16:50,060 –> 00:16:55,220 \nknow whether that’s better for worse but<\/p>\n
382 \n00:16:52,340 –> 00:16:58,190 \nit is better for me in the sense that I<\/p>\n
383 \n00:16:55,220 –> 00:17:01,640 \nnow see inspiration in places I hadn’t<\/p>\n
384 \n00:16:58,190 –> 00:17:05,209 \nthought I would find it so oh it doesn’t<\/p>\n
385 \n00:17:01,640 –> 00:17:07,940 \naway doesn’t mean doesn’t it doesn’t<\/p>\n
386 \n00:17:05,209 –> 00:17:10,010 \nmean going to the beach in Jamaica I’m<\/p>\n
387 \n00:17:07,940 –> 00:17:12,410 \nnot thinking about work in in that sense<\/p>\n
388 \n00:17:10,010 –> 00:17:16,940 \nit’s your body could be on the beach in<\/p>\n
389 \n00:17:12,410 –> 00:17:19,959 \nJamaica and as your mind relaxes ideas<\/p>\n
390 \n00:17:16,940 –> 00:17:22,760 \ncould start to come with respect to work<\/p>\n

395 \n00:17:31,420 –> 00:17:37,760 \nareas of the town you know triggered all<\/p>\n

400 \n00:17:44,000 –> 00:17:48,920 \nit always is reminding me and cling me<\/p>\n
401 \n00:17:47,300 –> 00:17:49,160 \ninto the way in which people are doing<\/p>\n

429 \n00:18:53,270 –> 00:19:01,130 \nresource of non-working time and I agree<\/p>\n
430 \n00:18:59,270 –> 00:19:04,670 \nyou know when when you describe it that<\/p>\n
431 \n00:19:01,130 –> 00:19:06,620 \nway it was quite interesting when you<\/p>\n
432 \n00:19:04,670 –> 00:19:08,960 \nmake description art of what that<\/p>\n
433 \n00:19:06,620 –> 00:19:11,720 \nvacation is yes as I said we have bring<\/p>\n
434 \n00:19:08,960 –> 00:19:14,750 \ntheir work year for years but we have<\/p>\n
435 \n00:19:11,720 –> 00:19:18,650 \nnever considered the same as work<\/p>\n
436 \n00:19:14,750 –> 00:19:21,380 \nremotely mostly for two things one there<\/p>\n
437 \n00:19:18,650 –> 00:19:24,110 \nis a bunch of things related to work<\/p>\n
438 \n00:19:21,380 –> 00:19:26,540 \nthat are handle so they don’t need to be<\/p>\n

440 \n00:19:26,540 –> 00:19:35,600 \nto be away and second usually there is<\/p>\n
441 \n00:19:31,180 –> 00:19:38,060 \nwork related that may come with us that<\/p>\n
442 \n00:19:35,600 –> 00:19:40,750 \nis really specific so it’s not oh we’re<\/p>\n
443 \n00:19:38,060 –> 00:19:44,960 \ngoing to work on everything that show up<\/p>\n
444 \n00:19:40,750 –> 00:19:47,530 \nduring the next X number of days that<\/p>\n
445 \n00:19:44,960 –> 00:19:51,530 \nwe’re going to be away it is more a<\/p>\n
446 \n00:19:47,530 –> 00:19:54,770 \ncreative vacation in a way where it’s<\/p>\n
447 \n00:19:51,530 –> 00:19:58,340 \nthe working gear is coming in case of an<\/p>\n
448 \n00:19:54,770 –> 00:20:01,430 \nemergency but mostly is coming in case<\/p>\n
449 \n00:19:58,340 –> 00:20:02,790 \nwe have the opportunity to find that<\/p>\n
450 \n00:20:01,430 –> 00:20:05,610 \ninspiration and what<\/p>\n
451 \n00:20:02,790 –> 00:20:08,090 \ninto that inspirations and I agree with<\/p>\n
452 \n00:20:05,610 –> 00:20:13,170 \nyou when you describe that preparation<\/p>\n
453 \n00:20:08,090 –> 00:20:16,560 \nthat that is probably the most important<\/p>\n
454 \n00:20:13,170 –> 00:20:18,810 \npart of what we do is and it’s exactly<\/p>\n
455 \n00:20:16,560 –> 00:20:22,680 \nwhat allows that even as I’m looking at<\/p>\n
456 \n00:20:18,810 –> 00:20:26,030 \nmy desk right now which is interesting<\/p>\n
457 \n00:20:22,680 –> 00:20:29,580 \namount of things to process this morning<\/p>\n
458 \n00:20:26,030 –> 00:20:34,080 \nthere is no stress on that I knew before<\/p>\n
459 \n00:20:29,580 –> 00:20:37,170 \nI pack for for Vegas that I was going to<\/p>\n
460 \n00:20:34,080 –> 00:20:39,990 \ncome to that so there is a lot of time<\/p>\n
461 \n00:20:37,170 –> 00:20:43,350 \nthat was taken into consideration to<\/p>\n
462 \n00:20:39,990 –> 00:20:46,230 \nhave today for example in the morning<\/p>\n
463 \n00:20:43,350 –> 00:20:48,740 \nenough time to process if not everything<\/p>\n
464 \n00:20:46,230 –> 00:20:52,170 \nasked masks as far as much as possible<\/p>\n
465 \n00:20:48,740 –> 00:20:54,960 \nso so I agree with you on the<\/p>\n
466 \n00:20:52,170 –> 00:20:59,640 \npreparation even that maybe consciously<\/p>\n
467 \n00:20:54,960 –> 00:21:03,270 \nI was and aware as I should on how much<\/p>\n
468 \n00:20:59,640 –> 00:21:06,720 \npreparation goes for us into this trip<\/p>\n
469 \n00:21:03,270 –> 00:21:11,010 \nit’s not for us if not let’s work remote<\/p>\n
470 \n00:21:06,720 –> 00:21:13,050 \nit is we are going to go away and we’re<\/p>\n
471 \n00:21:11,010 –> 00:21:16,320 \ngoing to work or we’re going to work on<\/p>\n
472 \n00:21:13,050 –> 00:21:18,840 \nthings that require a different set of<\/p>\n
473 \n00:21:16,320 –> 00:21:22,620 \ntools elements environment even<\/p>\n
474 \n00:21:18,840 –> 00:21:25,680 \nquietness maybe that the place where we<\/p>\n
475 \n00:21:22,620 –> 00:21:29,150 \nare pushing every day to work you know<\/p>\n
476 \n00:21:25,680 –> 00:21:32,610 \nand that’s exactly what allow us to make<\/p>\n
477 \n00:21:29,150 –> 00:21:35,970 \nthose weeks so effective so maybe as<\/p>\n
478 \n00:21:32,610 –> 00:21:37,830 \nFrancis described and I haven’t call it<\/p>\n
479 \n00:21:35,970 –> 00:21:40,170 \nthat way or considering that way but<\/p>\n
480 \n00:21:37,830 –> 00:21:45,300 \nit’s interesting maybe what my wife and<\/p>\n
481 \n00:21:40,170 –> 00:21:47,100 \nI do is we take creative burst of time<\/p>\n
482 \n00:21:45,300 –> 00:21:49,560 \nso maybe we take Friday Saturday and<\/p>\n
483 \n00:21:47,100 –> 00:21:52,980 \nSunday as a creative burst of time where<\/p>\n
484 \n00:21:49,560 –> 00:21:56,010 \nwe can disconnect from the grind without<\/p>\n
485 \n00:21:52,980 –> 00:21:58,830 \nnecessarily unplugging a hundred percent<\/p>\n
486 \n00:21:56,010 –> 00:22:02,850 \nfrom work so what I’m what I’m hearing<\/p>\n
487 \n00:21:58,830 –> 00:22:06,750 \nfrom from us as a kind of consensus is<\/p>\n
488 \n00:22:02,850 –> 00:22:09,780 \nthat we should plan for what we are<\/p>\n
489 \n00:22:06,750 –> 00:22:11,610 \ngoing to do or not do while we’re away<\/p>\n
490 \n00:22:09,780 –> 00:22:14,820 \nfrom work if we have the opportunity to<\/p>\n
491 \n00:22:11,610 –> 00:22:16,770 \nplan for our absence then we should at<\/p>\n
492 \n00:22:14,820 –> 00:22:19,140 \nleast plan for what we are a firm<\/p>\n
493 \n00:22:16,770 –> 00:22:22,350 \ngoing to do and affirmative really not<\/p>\n
494 \n00:22:19,140 –> 00:22:24,360 \ngoing to do and obviously emergencies<\/p>\n
495 \n00:22:22,350 –> 00:22:25,050 \nhappen as you said acousto but for the<\/p>\n

497 \n00:22:25,050 –> 00:22:30,480 \nknowing that upfront I think is really<\/p>\n
498 \n00:22:27,120 –> 00:22:34,890 \nis really powerful to our overall stress<\/p>\n
499 \n00:22:30,480 –> 00:22:36,780 \nor distressing while we’re away I wanted<\/p>\n
500 \n00:22:34,890 –> 00:22:39,540 \nto also point out the two good questions<\/p>\n
501 \n00:22:36,780 –> 00:22:42,150 \nthat I like to ask as well of myself<\/p>\n
502 \n00:22:39,540 –> 00:22:45,510 \nbefore I leave is what will others need<\/p>\n
503 \n00:22:42,150 –> 00:22:48,120 \nfrom me while I’m away and what will<\/p>\n
504 \n00:22:45,510 –> 00:22:50,520 \nwhat will I need to do when I return to<\/p>\n
505 \n00:22:48,120 –> 00:22:53,220 \nwork when I’m getting back to work what<\/p>\n
506 \n00:22:50,520 –> 00:22:56,280 \nwill I need to do when I get back there<\/p>\n
507 \n00:22:53,220 –> 00:22:58,770 \nbecause that will help me sort of<\/p>\n
508 \n00:22:56,280 –> 00:23:01,800 \naccelerate once I hit the ground on the<\/p>\n
509 \n00:22:58,770 –> 00:23:03,660 \nopposite side of in this case vacation<\/p>\n
510 \n00:23:01,800 –> 00:23:07,170 \nor just any time away from work<\/p>\n
511 \n00:23:03,660 –> 00:23:10,020 \naltogether I wanted to switch gears now<\/p>\n
512 \n00:23:07,170 –> 00:23:13,590 \nto talking about some of the technique<\/p>\n
513 \n00:23:10,020 –> 00:23:17,820 \ntechniques that we we can do once we do<\/p>\n
514 \n00:23:13,590 –> 00:23:20,190 \nget back from time away and and and what<\/p>\n
515 \n00:23:17,820 –> 00:23:23,070 \nare some of those fundamental either<\/p>\n
516 \n00:23:20,190 –> 00:23:25,070 \ntactics or strategies that we can use to<\/p>\n
517 \n00:23:23,070 –> 00:23:27,750 \nproductively on-ramp to productively<\/p>\n
518 \n00:23:25,070 –> 00:23:30,090 \naccelerate I like this I like this<\/p>\n
519 \n00:23:27,750 –> 00:23:33,000 \nacceleration Lane and deceleration Lane<\/p>\n
520 \n00:23:30,090 –> 00:23:34,890 \nanalogy as you all know so how do we how<\/p>\n
521 \n00:23:33,000 –> 00:23:36,510 \ndo we how do we get ourselves into the<\/p>\n
522 \n00:23:34,890 –> 00:23:38,570 \nacceleration Lane and what can we do<\/p>\n
523 \n00:23:36,510 –> 00:23:41,670 \nwhile we’re there to get up to speed<\/p>\n
524 \n00:23:38,570 –> 00:23:44,640 \nquickly easily more efficiently more<\/p>\n
525 \n00:23:41,670 –> 00:23:48,240 \neffectively right well for me getting<\/p>\n
526 \n00:23:44,640 –> 00:23:51,330 \nback I have to make sure the schedule<\/p>\n
527 \n00:23:48,240 –> 00:23:55,230 \nsort of readjustment time because if I<\/p>\n
528 \n00:23:51,330 –> 00:23:57,210 \nflipped from a 20 to 30 70 it’s not a<\/p>\n
529 \n00:23:55,230 –> 00:23:59,580 \nmatter of just landing and all of a<\/p>\n
530 \n00:23:57,210 –> 00:24:02,130 \nsudden being in the frame of mind that I<\/p>\n
531 \n00:23:59,580 –> 00:24:04,410 \nwas in before I left I need a lot of<\/p>\n
532 \n00:24:02,130 –> 00:24:06,960 \ntime to sort of get him get back into<\/p>\n
533 \n00:24:04,410 –> 00:24:08,640 \nthe groove when I travel for long<\/p>\n
534 \n00:24:06,960 –> 00:24:11,760 \nperiods of time to other countries and<\/p>\n
535 \n00:24:08,640 –> 00:24:13,410 \nto say when I come back or come back<\/p>\n
536 \n00:24:11,760 –> 00:24:16,050 \nhome I was living in two countries for<\/p>\n
537 \n00:24:13,410 –> 00:24:17,730 \nlast couple years and when I would<\/p>\n
538 \n00:24:16,050 –> 00:24:20,490 \nswitch countries after a month or two<\/p>\n
539 \n00:24:17,730 –> 00:24:23,310 \nmonths I’d walk into the apartment or<\/p>\n
540 \n00:24:20,490 –> 00:24:25,980 \nthe house and everything would look<\/p>\n
541 \n00:24:23,310 –> 00:24:28,020 \nweird it was like what an hour I’d be<\/p>\n
542 \n00:24:25,980 –> 00:24:30,540 \nlike oh my god because it would look<\/p>\n
543 \n00:24:28,020 –> 00:24:33,600 \noddly familiar but but still<\/p>\n
544 \n00:24:30,540 –> 00:24:36,060 \nstrange and it would take me at least a<\/p>\n
545 \n00:24:33,600 –> 00:24:38,100 \ncouple hours to sort of adjust to the<\/p>\n
546 \n00:24:36,060 –> 00:24:39,840 \nphysical environment alone the work just<\/p>\n
547 \n00:24:38,100 –> 00:24:41,190 \na physical environment so of course<\/p>\n
548 \n00:24:39,840 –> 00:24:42,930 \nduring those two hours I’m useless I<\/p>\n
549 \n00:24:41,190 –> 00:24:44,580 \ncouldn’t do it I couldn’t do anything of<\/p>\n
550 \n00:24:42,930 –> 00:24:48,330 \nany real value let alone anything<\/p>\n
551 \n00:24:44,580 –> 00:24:51,720 \nchallenging so I think the rifle back<\/p>\n
552 \n00:24:48,330 –> 00:24:54,690 \nrequires some sort of easing in there’s<\/p>\n
553 \n00:24:51,720 –> 00:24:56,490 \na I think it’s a sort of a mystique<\/p>\n
554 \n00:24:54,690 –> 00:24:57,870 \nmaybe to jump right into a meeting as<\/p>\n
555 \n00:24:56,490 –> 00:25:01,410 \nsoon as you get back I’ve done that<\/p>\n
556 \n00:24:57,870 –> 00:25:04,770 \nbefore and also dumped into replying to<\/p>\n
557 \n00:25:01,410 –> 00:25:05,970 \nemail I think there’s a soft entry that<\/p>\n
558 \n00:25:04,770 –> 00:25:08,400 \nmirror if you’re in an office<\/p>\n
559 \n00:25:05,970 –> 00:25:10,500 \nenvironment for example there’s just<\/p>\n
560 \n00:25:08,400 –> 00:25:12,000 \ntouching base with people and getting a<\/p>\n
561 \n00:25:10,500 –> 00:25:14,220 \nhuman connection going and sort of<\/p>\n
562 \n00:25:12,000 –> 00:25:17,370 \ncatching the vibe of what’s happening in<\/p>\n
563 \n00:25:14,220 –> 00:25:20,460 \nthe office before trying to catch up so<\/p>\n
564 \n00:25:17,370 –> 00:25:22,470 \nsort of getting the human side of things<\/p>\n
565 \n00:25:20,460 –> 00:25:25,320 \ngetting back in sync with people who<\/p>\n
566 \n00:25:22,470 –> 00:25:27,090 \nhaven’t seen you for a while and then<\/p>\n
567 \n00:25:25,320 –> 00:25:29,820 \neasing yourself back in but making sure<\/p>\n
568 \n00:25:27,090 –> 00:25:31,590 \nto have a kind of a gentle schedule for<\/p>\n
569 \n00:25:29,820 –> 00:25:33,030 \nthe first few days I think scheduling<\/p>\n
570 \n00:25:31,590 –> 00:25:34,410 \nthe way you manage your time in the<\/p>\n
571 \n00:25:33,030 –> 00:25:36,870 \nfirst few days I know you block out time<\/p>\n
572 \n00:25:34,410 –> 00:25:38,940 \nand make sure that nobody puts in for<\/p>\n
573 \n00:25:36,870 –> 00:25:40,500 \nour meetings on that first day I think<\/p>\n
574 \n00:25:38,940 –> 00:25:42,930 \nthose are those are some practical ways<\/p>\n
575 \n00:25:40,500 –> 00:25:44,610 \nto ease yourself in yeah I do it a<\/p>\n
576 \n00:25:42,930 –> 00:25:47,850 \nlittle bit different I have actually a<\/p>\n
577 \n00:25:44,610 –> 00:25:51,180 \npretty consistent method that I tack all<\/p>\n
578 \n00:25:47,850 –> 00:25:53,370 \nthis stuff with I put into my calendar<\/p>\n
579 \n00:25:51,180 –> 00:25:55,770 \nthat’s that people can book meetings<\/p>\n
580 \n00:25:53,370 –> 00:25:57,480 \nagainst me with when I’m planning to be<\/p>\n
581 \n00:25:55,770 –> 00:25:59,310 \nback on that first day so if I’m coming<\/p>\n
582 \n00:25:57,480 –> 00:26:02,040 \nback on a Monday that I’ll be back in<\/p>\n
583 \n00:25:59,310 –> 00:26:04,620 \nthe office at say eight o’clock and then<\/p>\n
584 \n00:26:02,040 –> 00:26:08,040 \nI make a point to be in the office by<\/p>\n
585 \n00:26:04,620 –> 00:26:12,360 \n7:30 I take that half hour as triage<\/p>\n
586 \n00:26:08,040 –> 00:26:15,300 \ntime because I have yet to find that I<\/p>\n
587 \n00:26:12,360 –> 00:26:17,550 \ncannot triage everything that happens<\/p>\n
588 \n00:26:15,300 –> 00:26:19,650 \nduring the course of a week within a<\/p>\n
589 \n00:26:17,550 –> 00:26:21,180 \nhalf hour I mean that’s all the time it<\/p>\n
590 \n00:26:19,650 –> 00:26:24,000 \nreally takes and when I say triage I<\/p>\n
591 \n00:26:21,180 –> 00:26:25,920 \ndon’t mean do that’s a big mistake that<\/p>\n
592 \n00:26:24,000 –> 00:26:28,980 \npeople make is they start going through<\/p>\n
593 \n00:26:25,920 –> 00:26:31,920 \nthat firehose of emails they’ve gone and<\/p>\n
594 \n00:26:28,980 –> 00:26:33,570 \nthey try to tackle each of those emails<\/p>\n
595 \n00:26:31,920 –> 00:26:37,320 \nand start to address those problems you<\/p>\n
596 \n00:26:33,570 –> 00:26:39,930 \ncan’t do that triaging is literally<\/p>\n
597 \n00:26:37,320 –> 00:26:42,510 \nwhat’s the most critical that I need to<\/p>\n
598 \n00:26:39,930 –> 00:26:43,660 \naddress when the triage is done what’s<\/p>\n
599 \n00:26:42,510 –> 00:26:45,640 \nsecond what’s<\/p>\n
600 \n00:26:43,660 –> 00:26:47,850 \nwhat are things that you know the<\/p>\n
601 \n00:26:45,640 –> 00:26:49,900 \nclassic models have delegate defer<\/p>\n
602 \n00:26:47,850 –> 00:26:53,620 \ndestroy that type of thing<\/p>\n
603 \n00:26:49,900 –> 00:26:55,420 \nthere’s tons of methods around it and I<\/p>\n
604 \n00:26:53,620 –> 00:26:57,400 \ncould go on for hours on different ways<\/p>\n
605 \n00:26:55,420 –> 00:27:00,430 \nto approach this triage the key thing is<\/p>\n
606 \n00:26:57,400 –> 00:27:02,290 \nto designate that time period and make<\/p>\n
607 \n00:27:00,430 –> 00:27:05,290 \nsure that you don’t try to do anything<\/p>\n
608 \n00:27:02,290 –> 00:27:07,750 \nelse until that’s done because what<\/p>\n
609 \n00:27:05,290 –> 00:27:10,210 \nalmost always happens is if you start<\/p>\n
610 \n00:27:07,750 –> 00:27:12,250 \ndoing things you will run into something<\/p>\n
611 \n00:27:10,210 –> 00:27:14,200 \nfar more important that you did not<\/p>\n
612 \n00:27:12,250 –> 00:27:16,930 \ntriage for and now all the sudden<\/p>\n
613 \n00:27:14,200 –> 00:27:18,580 \neverything goes off the rails so that’s<\/p>\n
614 \n00:27:16,930 –> 00:27:20,650 \nhow I tackle it you know there’s an<\/p>\n
615 \n00:27:18,580 –> 00:27:25,060 \ninteresting thing interesting thing you<\/p>\n
616 \n00:27:20,650 –> 00:27:29,590 \nmentioned four so so for me there is two<\/p>\n
617 \n00:27:25,060 –> 00:27:33,310 \nthings on on anything that is two days<\/p>\n
618 \n00:27:29,590 –> 00:27:36,130 \nor more as a travel or take out of the<\/p>\n
619 \n00:27:33,310 –> 00:27:38,830 \noftens time I tend to block the morning<\/p>\n
620 \n00:27:36,130 –> 00:27:43,390 \nthe day I come back to the office so for<\/p>\n
621 \n00:27:38,830 –> 00:27:45,310 \nexample so I block the whole morning all<\/p>\n
622 \n00:27:43,390 –> 00:27:48,490 \nthe time before lunch because that will<\/p>\n
623 \n00:27:45,310 –> 00:27:50,860 \ngive me time enough time to take care of<\/p>\n
624 \n00:27:48,490 –> 00:27:53,650 \nthat triage take care of look at what<\/p>\n
625 \n00:27:50,860 –> 00:27:56,170 \nstuff without feeling you know anybody<\/p>\n
626 \n00:27:53,650 –> 00:28:00,190 \nbreathing on on the back of my neck and<\/p>\n
627 \n00:27:56,170 –> 00:28:05,040 \nat that time is key and is important for<\/p>\n
628 \n00:28:00,190 –> 00:28:10,060 \nme for the triage I you know years ago<\/p>\n
629 \n00:28:05,040 –> 00:28:13,540 \nwhen I think the triage works in the<\/p>\n
630 \n00:28:10,060 –> 00:28:17,110 \nsame way as when you are doing weekly<\/p>\n
631 \n00:28:13,540 –> 00:28:19,330 \nreview in the way that when you’re doing<\/p>\n
632 \n00:28:17,110 –> 00:28:21,340 \nweekly review inevitable there is a<\/p>\n
633 \n00:28:19,330 –> 00:28:25,090 \nstuff that come to your mind come to<\/p>\n
634 \n00:28:21,340 –> 00:28:27,910 \nyour attention you say I need to fill in<\/p>\n
635 \n00:28:25,090 –> 00:28:30,130 \nthe blank and a lot of people make the<\/p>\n
636 \n00:28:27,910 –> 00:28:32,590 \nmistake to then stop the what they are<\/p>\n
637 \n00:28:30,130 –> 00:28:34,600 \ndoing to go and do that I understand<\/p>\n
638 \n00:28:32,590 –> 00:28:36,790 \nthere are a few amount of things that<\/p>\n
639 \n00:28:34,600 –> 00:28:39,670 \nrequire that immediacy but most of the<\/p>\n
640 \n00:28:36,790 –> 00:28:41,860 \ntime it doesn’t and I’ve been advising<\/p>\n
641 \n00:28:39,670 –> 00:28:44,650 \npeople for a year okay before you start<\/p>\n
642 \n00:28:41,860 –> 00:28:48,070 \nyour with you review grab a piece of<\/p>\n
643 \n00:28:44,650 –> 00:28:49,720 \npaper and mark it in a certain way it<\/p>\n
644 \n00:28:48,070 –> 00:28:52,720 \ndoesn’t matter what you put on top I put<\/p>\n
645 \n00:28:49,720 –> 00:28:55,150 \nto do as soon as this is done and any of<\/p>\n
646 \n00:28:52,720 –> 00:28:57,400 \nthese things that come that are I need<\/p>\n
647 \n00:28:55,150 –> 00:29:00,460 \nto you know now<\/p>\n
648 \n00:28:57,400 –> 00:29:02,680 \ninstead of a stop what I’m doing instead<\/p>\n
649 \n00:29:00,460 –> 00:29:08,710 \nof a stop the triage or instead of a<\/p>\n
650 \n00:29:02,680 –> 00:29:11,170 \nstop the the weekly review write down<\/p>\n
651 \n00:29:08,710 –> 00:29:14,290 \nwhat it is right there on that page and<\/p>\n
652 \n00:29:11,170 –> 00:29:17,290 \ncontinue and finish the process because<\/p>\n
653 \n00:29:14,290 –> 00:29:19,210 \nif you do that what’s going to happen is<\/p>\n
654 \n00:29:17,290 –> 00:29:20,620 \nas soon as you are done first you’re not<\/p>\n
655 \n00:29:19,210 –> 00:29:22,720 \nlosing your train of thought and<\/p>\n
656 \n00:29:20,620 –> 00:29:24,730 \ntherefore your pudding but second you<\/p>\n
657 \n00:29:22,720 –> 00:29:27,910 \nknow that there is a place where you are<\/p>\n
658 \n00:29:24,730 –> 00:29:29,590 \ngoing to go immediately after to go and<\/p>\n
659 \n00:29:27,910 –> 00:29:31,930 \ntake care of all those things I wanted<\/p>\n
660 \n00:29:29,590 –> 00:29:35,890 \nto offer just two strategies that I use<\/p>\n
661 \n00:29:31,930 –> 00:29:37,660 \nand I feel like one is kind of given<\/p>\n
662 \n00:29:35,890 –> 00:29:40,390 \naway the goose here but I don’t think it<\/p>\n
663 \n00:29:37,660 –> 00:29:42,310 \nreally hurts me because I’m not gonna<\/p>\n
664 \n00:29:40,390 –> 00:29:48,040 \nanswer anybody anyway but here goes the<\/p>\n
665 \n00:29:42,310 –> 00:29:50,140 \nthing hi i won re-engage with my routine<\/p>\n
666 \n00:29:48,040 –> 00:29:51,940 \nso I have I have very strict routines<\/p>\n
667 \n00:29:50,140 –> 00:29:55,810 \nthat I’ve designed for myself throughout<\/p>\n
668 \n00:29:51,940 –> 00:29:57,460 \nthe day and this goes back to thought<\/p>\n
669 \n00:29:55,810 –> 00:30:00,520 \nthat I’ve had for a long time and I’ve<\/p>\n
670 \n00:29:57,460 –> 00:30:02,320 \nyou know published episodes on prod pod<\/p>\n
671 \n00:30:00,520 –> 00:30:05,440 \nabout this which is the idea of a day<\/p>\n
672 \n00:30:02,320 –> 00:30:07,720 \nreset and so I’ve naturally created<\/p>\n
673 \n00:30:05,440 –> 00:30:11,470 \nthese anchors in my day so that I’m able<\/p>\n
674 \n00:30:07,720 –> 00:30:13,420 \nto reset my day at natural points so<\/p>\n
675 \n00:30:11,470 –> 00:30:16,540 \nthat if the day is going wrong I can<\/p>\n
676 \n00:30:13,420 –> 00:30:19,570 \ncorrect course very easily so this idea<\/p>\n
677 \n00:30:16,540 –> 00:30:21,460 \nof a strong routine you don’t have to do<\/p>\n
678 \n00:30:19,570 –> 00:30:23,950 \nit every day necessarily although I<\/p>\n
679 \n00:30:21,460 –> 00:30:27,100 \nrecommend it because then it creates the<\/p>\n
680 \n00:30:23,950 –> 00:30:28,930 \nset of habits necessary to productively<\/p>\n
681 \n00:30:27,100 –> 00:30:31,480 \nmanage your day but this this helps<\/p>\n
682 \n00:30:28,930 –> 00:30:34,450 \nreally when you are getting back to work<\/p>\n
683 \n00:30:31,480 –> 00:30:36,910 \nwhich is to have a routine set up which<\/p>\n
684 \n00:30:34,450 –> 00:30:39,340 \nis what does my ideal day look like and<\/p>\n
685 \n00:30:36,910 –> 00:30:40,840 \nthis is not about best practice it’s not<\/p>\n
686 \n00:30:39,340 –> 00:30:43,260 \nabout anything like that it’s just what<\/p>\n
687 \n00:30:40,840 –> 00:30:46,180 \nwould the ideal day look like and try to<\/p>\n
688 \n00:30:43,260 –> 00:30:49,600 \nyou know reach yourself toward you know<\/p>\n
689 \n00:30:46,180 –> 00:30:52,120 \nstretch toward that ideal and that<\/p>\n
690 \n00:30:49,600 –> 00:30:54,790 \nreally helps me understand that you know<\/p>\n
691 \n00:30:52,120 –> 00:30:56,650 \nwhile I was away my routine was most<\/p>\n
692 \n00:30:54,790 –> 00:30:59,710 \nlikely different and I do try to keep my<\/p>\n
693 \n00:30:56,650 –> 00:31:02,110 \nroutine as close when I’m away too as<\/p>\n
694 \n00:30:59,710 –> 00:31:04,630 \nwhen I return it’s it’s just very<\/p>\n
695 \n00:31:02,110 –> 00:31:06,100 \ndifficult for me to switch gears and I<\/p>\n
696 \n00:31:04,630 –> 00:31:07,930 \nbelieve that’s the case for most people<\/p>\n
697 \n00:31:06,100 –> 00:31:09,220 \nso I try to get up at the same time I<\/p>\n
698 \n00:31:07,930 –> 00:31:10,990 \nknow that people when they’re away from<\/p>\n
699 \n00:31:09,220 –> 00:31:13,179 \nwork even on weekends<\/p>\n
700 \n00:31:10,990 –> 00:31:15,730 \npeople attempt to sleep in or whatever<\/p>\n
701 \n00:31:13,179 –> 00:31:17,920 \nit might be I don’t do that I like this<\/p>\n
702 \n00:31:15,730 –> 00:31:20,110 \nconsistency of getting up every day at<\/p>\n
703 \n00:31:17,920 –> 00:31:21,550 \nthe same time I like the idea of going<\/p>\n
704 \n00:31:20,110 –> 00:31:24,070 \nto bed roughly around the same time<\/p>\n
705 \n00:31:21,550 –> 00:31:26,470 \nevery day I like to do the same things<\/p>\n
706 \n00:31:24,070 –> 00:31:28,840 \nlike eating at the same times of the day<\/p>\n
707 \n00:31:26,470 –> 00:31:30,070 \nit just is less disruptive to my overall<\/p>\n
708 \n00:31:28,840 –> 00:31:31,809 \nsystem and that’s not always the case<\/p>\n
709 \n00:31:30,070 –> 00:31:33,400 \nespecially if we’re you know we’ve been<\/p>\n
710 \n00:31:31,809 –> 00:31:35,170 \ntalking about vacation pretty heavily<\/p>\n
711 \n00:31:33,400 –> 00:31:38,050 \nbut that’s not necessarily the case you<\/p>\n
712 \n00:31:35,170 –> 00:31:40,929 \ncould be just you know away from from<\/p>\n
713 \n00:31:38,050 –> 00:31:43,030 \nwork for a work trip you know I work I<\/p>\n
714 \n00:31:40,929 –> 00:31:45,850 \ntravel quite a bit for work and so you<\/p>\n
715 \n00:31:43,030 –> 00:31:47,890 \nknow I try to keep my on travel work<\/p>\n
716 \n00:31:45,850 –> 00:31:50,020 \nschedule very close to that and that<\/p>\n
717 \n00:31:47,890 –> 00:31:51,970 \nreally helps me I feel like the second<\/p>\n
718 \n00:31:50,020 –> 00:31:54,970 \nis that if I do take an extended time<\/p>\n
719 \n00:31:51,970 –> 00:31:58,030 \naway from work I always buffer usually<\/p>\n
720 \n00:31:54,970 –> 00:32:01,660 \nan extra day before I leave and about<\/p>\n
721 \n00:31:58,030 –> 00:32:03,910 \ntwo days after I get back from from<\/p>\n
722 \n00:32:01,660 –> 00:32:05,920 \nbeing on vacation so on my calendar and<\/p>\n
723 \n00:32:03,910 –> 00:32:06,870 \nas far as my clients and everyone else<\/p>\n
724 \n00:32:05,920 –> 00:32:10,420 \nis concerned<\/p>\n
725 \n00:32:06,870 –> 00:32:12,940 \nother than my assistant everyone thinks<\/p>\n
726 \n00:32:10,420 –> 00:32:15,370 \nthat I’m so away I don’t I don’t appear<\/p>\n
727 \n00:32:12,940 –> 00:32:17,230 \non anyone’s calendar for those that day<\/p>\n
728 \n00:32:15,370 –> 00:32:19,630 \nbefore and those two days afterward and<\/p>\n
729 \n00:32:17,230 –> 00:32:21,880 \nlike I said this is kind of revealing<\/p>\n
730 \n00:32:19,630 –> 00:32:25,990 \none of my little secrets here but but<\/p>\n
731 \n00:32:21,880 –> 00:32:28,240 \ndon’t tell anybody but the idea here is<\/p>\n
732 \n00:32:25,990 –> 00:32:31,059 \nthat in that timeframe it allows me to<\/p>\n
733 \n00:32:28,240 –> 00:32:33,370 \ncatch up it allows me to clean up it<\/p>\n
734 \n00:32:31,059 –> 00:32:36,370 \nallows me to do that planning and and<\/p>\n
735 \n00:32:33,370 –> 00:32:38,890 \nthat you know restoration of my world<\/p>\n
736 \n00:32:36,370 –> 00:32:40,660 \nyou know I can I can respond to emails<\/p>\n
737 \n00:32:38,890 –> 00:32:42,850 \nand then schedule those to go out for<\/p>\n
738 \n00:32:40,660 –> 00:32:46,570 \nwhen I’m officially back and that really<\/p>\n
739 \n00:32:42,850 –> 00:32:48,910 \nhelps me be in control when I do come<\/p>\n
740 \n00:32:46,570 –> 00:32:51,100 \nback so I can have a meeting as Frances<\/p>\n
741 \n00:32:48,910 –> 00:32:53,559 \nsaid as soon as I getting back to work but<\/p>\n
742 \n00:32:51,100 –> 00:32:55,360 \nI’m really I’m already caught up in a<\/p>\n
743 \n00:32:53,559 –> 00:32:56,950 \nlot of ways that’s a great that’s a<\/p>\n
744 \n00:32:55,360 –> 00:32:59,080 \ngreat one so you’re hiding you’re in the<\/p>\n
745 \n00:32:56,950 –> 00:33:04,929 \noffice but you’re hiding from all of the<\/p>\n
746 \n00:32:59,080 –> 00:33:08,230 \npossible disruptors correct I also<\/p>\n
747 \n00:33:04,929 –> 00:33:10,300 \nrecommend that what well if you can get<\/p>\n
748 \n00:33:08,230 –> 00:33:12,280 \nto hide there’s a great great strategy<\/p>\n
749 \n00:33:10,300 –> 00:33:14,800 \nand while you’re hiding or while someone<\/p>\n
750 \n00:33:12,280 –> 00:33:16,450 \nis hiding there of course is an email<\/p>\n
751 \n00:33:14,800 –> 00:33:19,150 \nbacklog if they haven’t been checking<\/p>\n
752 \n00:33:16,450 –> 00:33:20,830 \nand working on email during vacation for<\/p>\n
753 \n00:33:19,150 –> 00:33:23,020 \nfor whatever reason there will be a<\/p>\n
754 \n00:33:20,830 –> 00:33:24,370 \nbackup a backlog it could be two weeks<\/p>\n
755 \n00:33:23,020 –> 00:33:25,659 \nthree weeks<\/p>\n
756 \n00:33:24,370 –> 00:33:28,179 \nif you’re in Europe you get like six<\/p>\n
757 \n00:33:25,659 –> 00:33:31,260 \nweeks of vacation see you get six weeks<\/p>\n
758 \n00:33:28,179 –> 00:33:33,940 \na backlog on email so there’s there’s a<\/p>\n
759 \n00:33:31,260 –> 00:33:37,299 \nfocused activity that is has to be<\/p>\n
760 \n00:33:33,940 –> 00:33:40,090 \nscheduled into the first day two or<\/p>\n
761 \n00:33:37,299 –> 00:33:42,370 \nthree days back on the job which is to<\/p>\n
762 \n00:33:40,090 –> 00:33:44,520 \ngo through all of email and get back to<\/p>\n
763 \n00:33:42,370 –> 00:33:47,950 \nzero get back get the inbox back to zero<\/p>\n
764 \n00:33:44,520 –> 00:33:50,590 \nto dispense with all of the tasks that<\/p>\n
765 \n00:33:47,950 –> 00:33:52,710 \nare lying in wait and all those<\/p>\n
766 \n00:33:50,590 –> 00:33:55,679 \ndifferent emails and that activity is<\/p>\n
767 \n00:33:52,710 –> 00:33:58,149 \nheavy-lifting if it’s been a long time<\/p>\n
768 \n00:33:55,679 –> 00:34:00,429 \nthat is an absolute requirement I think<\/p>\n
769 \n00:33:58,149 –> 00:34:03,720 \nto do a version of what you said lock<\/p>\n
770 \n00:34:00,429 –> 00:34:05,880 \nthe door make sure to know there are no<\/p>\n
771 \n00:34:03,720 –> 00:34:08,830 \ninterruptions<\/p>\n
772 \n00:34:05,880 –> 00:34:13,540 \ndo you know to put all the blocking<\/p>\n
773 \n00:34:08,830 –> 00:34:15,429 \nsoftware on your on your web browser so<\/p>\n
774 \n00:34:13,540 –> 00:34:18,669 \nthat you’re not distracted by social<\/p>\n
775 \n00:34:15,429 –> 00:34:21,310 \nmedia and really going to the flow State<\/p>\n
776 \n00:34:18,669 –> 00:34:23,320 \nmaybe several several episodes of the<\/p>\n
777 \n00:34:21,310 –> 00:34:27,040 \nflow State so that by the end of it you<\/p>\n
778 \n00:34:23,320 –> 00:34:29,050 \ncan emerge with your email completed<\/p>\n
779 \n00:34:27,040 –> 00:34:30,730 \nwith that job because that job as far as<\/p>\n
780 \n00:34:29,050 –> 00:34:33,490 \nI’m concerned is one that has to get<\/p>\n
781 \n00:34:30,730 –> 00:34:34,869 \ndone now as soon as you get Matt’s not<\/p>\n
782 \n00:34:33,490 –> 00:34:37,270 \nbefore doing the other things that I<\/p>\n
783 \n00:34:34,869 –> 00:34:38,560 \nmentioned but before engaging with the<\/p>\n
784 \n00:34:37,270 –> 00:34:39,760 \nrest of the world that’s one that most<\/p>\n
785 \n00:34:38,560 –> 00:34:42,250 \npeople have to get there in an office<\/p>\n
786 \n00:34:39,760 –> 00:34:43,929 \nenvironment yeah and I know that you<\/p>\n
787 \n00:34:42,250 –> 00:34:46,060 \nfocused on email but this is actually<\/p>\n
788 \n00:34:43,929 –> 00:34:48,820 \nfor me mostly about calendaring you know<\/p>\n
789 \n00:34:46,060 –> 00:34:51,369 \nI have a very hectic day time calendars<\/p>\n
790 \n00:34:48,820 –> 00:34:53,020 \nyou know you know from from 8 to about 4<\/p>\n
791 \n00:34:51,369 –> 00:34:55,540 \no’clock and sometimes later than that on<\/p>\n
792 \n00:34:53,020 –> 00:34:59,020 \nthe day it’s back to back to back for me<\/p>\n
793 \n00:34:55,540 –> 00:35:00,760 \nor I’m in a workshop or seminar in front<\/p>\n
794 \n00:34:59,020 –> 00:35:02,560 \nof people so there’s not much I can do<\/p>\n
795 \n00:35:00,760 –> 00:35:03,849 \nin terms of responding to people during<\/p>\n
796 \n00:35:02,560 –> 00:35:05,170 \nthat time frame you know it’s not like I<\/p>\n
797 \n00:35:03,849 –> 00:35:07,030 \ncan be in a training and say oh I’ll<\/p>\n
798 \n00:35:05,170 –> 00:35:10,030 \ntake that phone call or I’ll respond to<\/p>\n
799 \n00:35:07,030 –> 00:35:12,970 \nthat email now that just came in and so<\/p>\n
800 \n00:35:10,030 –> 00:35:15,460 \nI have to really be aware that when I<\/p>\n
801 \n00:35:12,970 –> 00:35:19,330 \ncome back from time away from work<\/p>\n
802 \n00:35:15,460 –> 00:35:22,210 \nthere may be a backlog that I didn’t<\/p>\n
803 \n00:35:19,330 –> 00:35:24,220 \nanticipate or and and for listeners that<\/p>\n
804 \n00:35:22,210 –> 00:35:27,250 \nyou didn’t anticipate and so you have to<\/p>\n
805 \n00:35:24,220 –> 00:35:29,619 \nknow your work world and your and and<\/p>\n
806 \n00:35:27,250 –> 00:35:30,940 \nkind of the situations that arise and<\/p>\n
807 \n00:35:29,619 –> 00:35:33,339 \nthat’s why I have those two days<\/p>\n
808 \n00:35:30,940 –> 00:35:35,080 \nbuffered because it may be that I need<\/p>\n
809 \n00:35:33,339 –> 00:35:36,880 \nto restructure my calendar it may it may<\/p>\n
810 \n00:35:35,080 –> 00:35:38,190 \nnot be a lot of email although usually<\/p>\n
811 \n00:35:36,880 –> 00:35:40,809 \nit’s a lot of email but<\/p>\n
812 \n00:35:38,190 –> 00:35:42,970 \nmany times it’s because I have to now<\/p>\n
813 \n00:35:40,809 –> 00:35:45,010 \nreschedule a bunch of things that are<\/p>\n
814 \n00:35:42,970 –> 00:35:47,770 \nhappening to in three days after I get<\/p>\n
815 \n00:35:45,010 –> 00:35:49,329 \nback that now just it’s not it’s not<\/p>\n
816 \n00:35:47,770 –> 00:35:51,220 \nreasonable that those things can happen<\/p>\n
817 \n00:35:49,329 –> 00:35:53,109 \nbecause I may have projects that I need<\/p>\n
818 \n00:35:51,220 –> 00:35:55,660 \nto work on over the next several days<\/p>\n
819 \n00:35:53,109 –> 00:35:58,299 \nfor something more something of higher<\/p>\n
820 \n00:35:55,660 –> 00:36:01,180 \npriority so you know don’t think that<\/p>\n
821 \n00:35:58,299 –> 00:36:03,720 \nit’s just clearing up email it’s all of<\/p>\n
822 \n00:36:01,180 –> 00:36:06,130 \nthose things that are downstream<\/p>\n
823 \n00:36:03,720 –> 00:36:08,829 \ncollateral damage if you want to call it<\/p>\n

827 \n00:36:14,500 –> 00:36:19,299 \nroadblocks some of the challenges that<\/p>\n
828 \n00:36:16,540 –> 00:36:23,319 \none faces when they are getting back to<\/p>\n
829 \n00:36:19,299 –> 00:36:26,040 \nwork and what may be some quick tips you<\/p>\n
830 \n00:36:23,319 –> 00:36:31,059 \nhave regarding those things if any<\/p>\n
831 \n00:36:26,040 –> 00:36:34,690 \nbiggest roadblocks interruptions second<\/p>\n
832 \n00:36:31,059 –> 00:36:37,210 \none would be conversations that start to<\/p>\n
833 \n00:36:34,690 –> 00:36:41,559 \ndevelop before triage is done<\/p>\n
834 \n00:36:37,210 –> 00:36:43,359 \nthird shifting priorities you always<\/p>\n
835 \n00:36:41,559 –> 00:36:44,890 \nknow that the the goalposts and have a<\/p>\n
836 \n00:36:43,359 –> 00:36:46,930 \ntendency to move while you’re out on<\/p>\n
837 \n00:36:44,890 –> 00:36:52,740 \nvacation or you’re away from the office<\/p>\n
838 \n00:36:46,930 –> 00:36:55,240 \nso you have so you have to to reset that<\/p>\n
839 \n00:36:52,740 –> 00:36:58,510 \nlet’s see what else the other and<\/p>\n
840 \n00:36:55,240 –> 00:37:02,740 \nprobably the most interesting one that I<\/p>\n
841 \n00:36:58,510 –> 00:37:04,510 \nrun into most frequently his new things<\/p>\n
842 \n00:37:02,740 –> 00:37:05,859 \nthat have arisen not things that you<\/p>\n
843 \n00:37:04,510 –> 00:37:07,359 \nwere expecting to deal with but new<\/p>\n
844 \n00:37:05,859 –> 00:37:09,309 \ninitiatives that all of a sudden take<\/p>\n
845 \n00:37:07,359 –> 00:37:12,160 \nhigh priority over everything else and<\/p>\n
846 \n00:37:09,309 –> 00:37:14,109 \nthat requires a new level set so it’s<\/p>\n
847 \n00:37:12,160 –> 00:37:16,059 \nthat changing dynamic you know that<\/p>\n
848 \n00:37:14,109 –> 00:37:18,160 \nwhat’s the phrase that all great plans<\/p>\n
849 \n00:37:16,059 –> 00:37:21,790 \nof mice and men often go awry well<\/p>\n
850 \n00:37:18,160 –> 00:37:24,460 \nthat’s basically it so creating plans<\/p>\n
851 \n00:37:21,790 –> 00:37:26,290 \nthat are unadaptable to new situations<\/p>\n
852 \n00:37:24,460 –> 00:37:27,099 \nand that’s not even a word but you know<\/p>\n
853 \n00:37:26,290 –> 00:37:30,460 \nwhat I mean<\/p>\n
854 \n00:37:27,099 –> 00:37:35,859 \nyou have to build the Flex you made a<\/p>\n
855 \n00:37:30,460 –> 00:37:39,150 \ngood point the biggest problem the<\/p>\n
856 \n00:37:35,859 –> 00:37:42,670 \nbiggest problem you are going to find is<\/p>\n
857 \n00:37:39,150 –> 00:37:45,940 \nwhat you planned for that week after on<\/p>\n
858 \n00:37:42,670 –> 00:37:48,730 \nthe sense of are you making sure that<\/p>\n
859 \n00:37:45,940 –> 00:37:51,230 \nyou are making a buffer for what is<\/p>\n
860 \n00:37:48,730 –> 00:37:54,290 \nimpossible to plan if you<\/p>\n
861 \n00:37:51,230 –> 00:37:56,660 \ncannot if you make the plan for the week<\/p>\n
862 \n00:37:54,290 –> 00:37:59,780 \nafter the week you are back to work you<\/p>\n
863 \n00:37:56,660 –> 00:38:03,470 \nknow to have now booked solid<\/p>\n
864 \n00:37:59,780 –> 00:38:06,020 \nwell are you living above her – what can<\/p>\n
865 \n00:38:03,470 –> 00:38:09,200 \nhappen on the time you were out that now<\/p>\n
866 \n00:38:06,020 –> 00:38:11,450 \nneed to take precedence or it need to be<\/p>\n
867 \n00:38:09,200 –> 00:38:13,160 \nreorganized and I think that’s where<\/p>\n
868 \n00:38:11,450 –> 00:38:15,910 \nthose buffer times and that buffer<\/p>\n
869 \n00:38:13,160 –> 00:38:19,310 \nstrategy it’s really really useful I<\/p>\n
870 \n00:38:15,910 –> 00:38:21,470 \nthink one of the the other challenges is<\/p>\n
871 \n00:38:19,310 –> 00:38:23,810 \naway from the tasks and the work they’re<\/p>\n
872 \n00:38:21,470 –> 00:38:27,530 \nsort of an emotional environment that<\/p>\n
873 \n00:38:23,810 –> 00:38:28,490 \nyou’re walking back into that could be<\/p>\n
874 \n00:38:27,530 –> 00:38:31,130 \nvery different from the one that you<\/p>\n
875 \n00:38:28,490 –> 00:38:33,020 \nleft and there’s probably a number of<\/p>\n
876 \n00:38:31,130 –> 00:38:35,750 \nevents that have happened that you don’t<\/p>\n
877 \n00:38:33,020 –> 00:38:37,760 \nknow about especially if it’s something<\/p>\n
878 \n00:38:35,750 –> 00:38:39,680 \nin the project that you’re working on so<\/p>\n
879 \n00:38:37,760 –> 00:38:41,570 \nthere’s some there’s some not just<\/p>\n
880 \n00:38:39,680 –> 00:38:44,090 \ncatching up in terms of information but<\/p>\n
881 \n00:38:41,570 –> 00:38:46,730 \nthere is sort of some listening to due<\/p>\n
882 \n00:38:44,090 –> 00:38:50,030 \nto what they’re saying what they’re not<\/p>\n
883 \n00:38:46,730 –> 00:38:51,740 \nseeing what the mood is like what in<\/p>\n
884 \n00:38:50,030 –> 00:38:53,930 \nthere might be some recapping of of<\/p>\n
885 \n00:38:51,740 –> 00:38:56,030 \ncritical events that took place while<\/p>\n
886 \n00:38:53,930 –> 00:39:01,250 \nyou were gone you’ve got a little time<\/p>\n
