Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    I’m pretty chill about things most of the time too.

    I remember working in a call centre a long time ago. Colleagues would freak out because the queues were getting really long. I’d remind them it’s not their job to manage the queues, it’s your job to take the next phone call. If the queue is 1 person or 10 people or 100, it doesn’t matter to you because your job is just to take the call at the front of the queue.

    These days I just keep a list of things I need to do, and identify the important tasks and do those. The Eisenhower Matrix can help.

    spoiler

    Eisenhower matrix - four boxes, columns urgent, not urgent, rows important, not important. Boxes labelled Do first, schedule, delegate, don't do

    It’s very rare for there to be multiple urgent and important things.
