Sh*t Show

Overwhelm is inevitable and will kill creativity if it’s perpetual. Perpetual overwhelm is a result of ineffectiveness. Ineffectiveness will inhibit deep work that matters. Finding the balance of efficiency and a healthy culture is where the “art” lives.

The quickest way to overcome perpetual overwhelm is NOT hiring another person to help. If you put the overwhelm on your helper, they will leave you. The overwhelm is yours to own. The effectiveness issue is on you.

If you’re unable to manage your own overwhelm, how will you coach a helper? They will sense the endless ineffectiveness and run for the hills.

Create your own structure to deal with it, find some relief, some space, THEN hire someone.

Why? Because no one wants to work in your sh*t show.
