These days everything is fast. We feel like we have to answer text messages, phone calls, emails, tweets, DMs, comments, talking point messages and more right away. This can be draining and it distracts us from our real work. It distracts us from who we want to BE!
I know many of us check emails at home, respond to talking points all day long and feel like we constantly owe people a quick and immediate reply. I'm here to remind you that you don't. WHAT DEMANDS YOUR ATTENTION DOESN'T ALWAYS DESERVE YOUR ATTENTION. I had to remind myself of this a lot this week. People can be demanding and expect an immediate response, but that doesn't mean you have to give it. Remember that PRESSING PAUSE and giving yourself time to GET YOUR MIND RIGHT before replying to a parent or addressing an issue is a GOOD THING! Remember that NOT checking email at home is a GOOD THING! We all need to give ourselves some space between the demands and our responses. WHAT DEMANDS YOUR ATTENTION DOESN'T ALWAYS DESERVE YOUR ATTENTION.
