AFRAID OF TOO MUCH RISKS?6/8/2020 There are two kinds of risks: risks you can take and risks that you can't and shouldn't.
We are prone to face risks everyday. When we drive to work everyday, we face risks because bad drivers are out in the road too. When we go to the dentist or massage therapists, we take the necessary risks of getting a bad fill or getting an achy spot. In any decision, it has its own attendant risks. Risks can be mitigated, can be reduced to mere nuisance or annoyance, and can be completely subverted, that there is no way that it becomes an obstacle or a hindrance to an action. We take daily precautions in our COVID-19 life nowadays, actually over-precaution-bordering on paranoia and panic. Organizations must be clear about what risks they can take, risks they can't and shouldn't and risks that are not actually risks-just part of doing business in this new climate. Anything that is described as risks these days are not really risks at all. It is likely fear. The sad fact is that many have been prone to close their doors and windows, turn off their lights and cover themselves with blankets. They treat experts as outsiders that can be carriers. I understand that we live in a litigious society and in this pandemic, everyone is a suspect. But the world continues to move forward. If you don't want to do business, just close the shop instead of making double messages. Where exactly is the danger in remote activities?

SLOWING DOWN IS GOING FAST6/1/2020 There is no life and work balance right now. It is all about our life.
Work at home has given a whole new taste of living life not in compartments but in fluidity and delighting in that fluidity. What we learned from the lockdown is really about slowing down. Slowing down enables us to think, reflect, ponder about the most important aspects of our lives and our work. Without the distraction and wasted time of commute and going about our daily lives in mindless chatter and goings-on, we can be more attuned to the people around us, to the ideas that we hear, and we are more receptive and open to change. When we really get connected to our most important essence, we become fully alive and able to become united with our purpose. The obstacle to real greatness is the distractions all around us. Working from home is about controlling our environment and making clear boundaries about what is work and what is home, and enjoying a lot of downtime which is healthy and renewing for our families and for ourselves. This also allows us to be more critical of how much time we really need versus how much we have been expending to get our tasks done. Also, being fully present to accomplish work in our homes means, doing our best and taking off when it's time. Slowing down means being more strategic about our use of time in the context of WFH. The future is not about life and work balance but life balance. |
