Or is This How You Do it?
DeJuan started it, I'm going to keep it going. How you do anything is how you do everything.
I say it a lot. It is universally transcendent. I say it to my kids, my colleagues, my friends, myself.
How you do anything is how you do everything. If you think about it - don't just say the words - say them out loud and let them rattle around up there for a second. How you do **ANYTHING** is how you do **EVERYTHING**. If you're here, in this community, you undoubtedly hold yourself to a pretty high standard. You want to learn and grow and get better. You're in really good company. I've been reflecting a lot about this idea recently as there is so much to do.
I'm parenting while working. People have been doing that since the beginning of time, I know I'm not alone in this one. I'm fortunate that work is busier than ever, and now, parenting while working also means while teaching; while short order cooking; while being the nurse; while being the coach; while answering IT support desk calls.
How I do anything is how I do everything.
So. If that is the standard we've instilled, how do we pull it all off without driving ourselves crazy?
I have no idea.
For me, the way out from here is taking "How you do anything is how you do everything" and coupling it with "Be you - everyone else is taken". The way out is by staying true to who you are. The way out is prioritizing and executing. As DeJuan said, his son has a method, a process he goes through with each decision. I bet he's refined it over his 24 years. He's taken note about what is working and what isn't. I'd also be willing to bet that the underlying foundation has stayed consistent regardless.
I've asked myself, what is my process? How am I continuing to do everything at the highest level when all of my "normal" way of doing things is unavailable? We are all longing for some prescendented times. Back to usual. I see so many people trying to force differentiation to stand out, I may have even tried a few things myself that - after I did them - didn't feel authentic. I've made note and refined. I'll admit, I'm still working hard to hit stride, but I feel comfortable that my new model is genuinely me, the best available every time. I've had to decline a few things I would have liked to do and it may take a little longer to return messages, but if I go back to the foundation, I know those things with the highest and best priority are still getting done at a level of which I'm proud. How we do anything is how we do everything.
You may be looking for a quick answer. Is this how I do it or is that how I do it? All I know is however you do it - don't lose yourself in the process. Compartmentalize and execute. It is hyper critical, if you're interested in maintaining the how you do anything is how you do everything, to own each task individually. Be you, everyone else is taken. Execute and be in the moment. Isn't that where we should be after all?
