One struggle I have is how to simultaneously embrace uncertainty and take responsibility for the impact of my actions. A high amount of uncertainty makes me feel like I’m a chef taking chicken thighs out of a warm fridge.
I think there is a time to just say “no” — even if we fear that others will accuse us of overthinking.
When it is truly important that I show up somewhere at a particular time, I factor in the long estimate of drive time and add 10 minutes. I am late <.00001 of the time. That is embracing uncertainty and taking responsibility.
