When the tail wags the dog

We can work and work and work, but sometimes it is the smallest of items that can have the largest of impacts. The last item on the mental checklist that ultimately has the largest effect on how the following hours are spent. Life doesn’t require you to be perfect, but it can have outsized effects from small events, positive, negative, and everything in between.

So if it takes making a list and checking it twice. Make that list and check it twice.

Don’t let your tail wag you.
