Last Saturday started with a serious conversation with my Master about failing to deliver on my word the prior week, proposing new deadlines, then missing those. We also covered being in emergency mode and having how to ask questions pointed out plain.
I published 2 TMSR OS articles, The Mission and Vision Statement Genesis and Some Reasons Contributing to TMSR OS is +ev. I made the proposed deadlines on these, but the latter was a taller mountain than I was ready to climb and the result wasn’t very comprehensible. I also published an article on Young Hands covering the tasks that’ve been de-prioritized
since starting. This article was a bit rushed and didn’t carry out my plan to write about how I prioritize.
The importance of keeping TMSR OS work in perspective, establishing a sustainable balance and work pace ((A big part of which means breaking things down more and making smaller steps.)) and working better with people were underscored this week. I did do a better job of owning my evenings this week and will work on building that rhythm.
The upcoming week will provide a break from the routine and opportunity to zoom out to the big picture.
So the wayside article added to the…wayside? Meant also to say: did you get back otherwise as much as you wanted to all those things you said in various places you’d get back to? Or at the very least: do you keep track somewhere of those too? Because you should really, even if not necessarily publicly but if you don’t add it to your list and actually keep track of it, you are better off not saying you’ll circle back to it in the first place.

The price to pay for not doing it right the first time.
not yet.
The last couple weeks I started to keep a list. You’re right, better to not promise at all than not deliver on a promise. Nevertheless, improving how I keep promises isn’t something that’s avoidable to my eye.
