Big, Small, And Real-Time

How do you know what matters?

Real-time is tricky.

Big deals right now might be small potatoes later.

Small stuff right now can turn into big inflection points later.

So if now is tricky, it can help to think about what lens we are viewing each moment, emotional reaction, and logical consideration through.

Elections. Jobs. Family stuff.

Get your anxieties list out (even if it’s not written down, you know THAT list in your head?).

“Big or small?” are good questions to start with, but it helps to add, “Compared to what?” “What about then?” “How do we know?” “Ok but to who?” and, etc.
