“Tyranny of the Urgent”

”When I say, “I don’t have time for this project,” I really mean, “I don’t consider it as important as something else I want or need to do.” For whatever reason, I have decided to use the hours another way—on a task I am pressured to do or on one that I enjoy. It may be planned or impulsive. Either way the issue is not simply lack of time but a choice I make.”

(Quote by Charles E. Hummel from his 1967 pamphlet entitled Tyranny of the Urgent. Source: http://www.olemissxa.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Tyranny-of-the-Urgent.pdf)

I am passionate about helping people realize their dreams and potential, and learning how to experience the world their way, what ever that looks like to them. I am on an ever-continuing journey of self discovery. If you like the content in this blog, please don't forget to subscribe at the bottom of the page.
