How well
did YOU sleep last night?A Special Message from Aman "The UnGuru" Motwane
Hello colleague —
How many plates are
Recently, I received a call from a woman who is a single parent and a small-business owner. She’s overwhelmed, overworked and over-stressed from the daily pressures of tight deadlines. Crushing priorities. Unrelenting customers. Impossible employees. And on top of all that, the frustration of not having the time to devote to her already-waaaay-too-late tasks ... and the guilt of not spending enough time at home with her kids.
"There’s no light at the end of the tunnel," she complained. "I’m ready to throw in the towel."
And then exasperated, she asked, "When are things going to get better?"
In my travels across the land, I’ve come across thousands of men and women just like her.
I gently informed her—
"Things aren't going to 'get better.'
"The pace of life and business is only going to quicken ever more. The deluge of information and lists are only going to gush ever more."
I heard her sigh. "How will I ever survive this?" she asked. "I suppose I should brush up on time management skills and stress management skills and leadership skills and, while I'm at it, my parenting skills."
Before I could say anything, she realized the futility of what she'd just said. "Where am I going to find the time for any of that?"
I wanted to tell her the truth — that her approach had trapped her in a vicious circle. And that there was no way she was escaping it until she changed her whole approach.
But instead, I offered to put together a brief video especially for her, explaining her best options. I’ve found it’s usually best to allow people to
That video is now ready. So, I thought I’d share it with you as well.
Watch it. Let me know what you think.
