    Excellent; a useful way to view whats important and/or urgent. Enthusiastic and fluent. I also find that writing things down gets most of it out of my head, to be able to evaluate things, and focus just on priorities.

    While working to teach a nutrition biomedicine protocol at live events, covid19 stepped into the gap and forced me to cancel all marketing, including my geofence provider. As we had our closing meeting discussing ‘what next’, my associate, a former military soldier remarked, “always stay ready, to not get ready”. Another mentor, Abraham-Hicks refers to this as “ready to be ready”. The world is always changing and for whatever the reason may be that we are where we are, be happy, since you are already ready, for what comes next. May you and yours..Be In Good Health.

    This woman is manic and not to be believed.

    Success in any profession requires one to distinguish (1) what is urgent and important, from (2) what is not urgent but important, from (3) what is urgent but not important from (4) what is neither urgent nor important. But that’s only part of the problem..

    It is also very important to understand when things are spinning dangerously out of control and that control needs to be rapidly regained in order to avoid disaster. Establishing priorities is definitely part of doing that, but it is only part. It is equally important to know when you are dangerously outgunned and need to divert some of the important and urgent to others.

    “Crazy busy” is a real phenomenon. Denying that it exists doesn’t make it go away. It is a problem that must be avoided if possible; managed when necessary; and acknowledged when intractable. And there are times when it is intractable and you must defer to others.

    A double (or triple) nuchal umbilical cord sounds scary, but it is actually usually pretty easy. The cord can usually be stretched and unwrapped without too much trouble. If all else fails, you can always cut it and deliver the baby. But that is not the same as having, for example, simultaneously an active massive obstetric hemorrhage, two q-wave MIs in cardiac and respiratory failure, a comatose patient in DKA, an MVA polytrauma patient in shock; an elderly patient in septic shock, a COPD patient who is exhausted from the work of breathing and about to respiratory arrest, plus who knows what other horrors lurking in the waiting room. That’s crazy busy. It’s real. It happens. Triage alone will not solve it. Only help from several other capable people possibly can.

When wildfires rage in California, incarcerated people are often on the front lines fighting the flames. TED Fellow Royal Ramey was one of them. He shares the story of how doing public service in prison inspired him to cofound the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program, a nonprofit helping formerly incarcerated people become wildland firefighters — and find purpose along the way.
