Jaakko how can I encourage a sense of urgency this is a hard one and in others yeah well yeah I think I’m assuming that this means with others but for either yourself or others what you have to realize is that time is going by very fast and when you have projects that are due the minute you look at them you gotta say this is gonna take longer than we think it’s gonna take let’s start moving on it now and then set yourself really tight timelines to make things happen and that what that’ll do is will make you realize how far behind the power curve you are that wasn’t one of my rules when I was in the SEAL Teams was I was always saying let’s be as far ahead to the power curve as power as possible as we possibly can so is that a normal expression power curve like that’s the thing that you’re trying to stay ahead of because it’s gonna smash you so I would always you know just we didn’t slow down the power curve if we got we thought we were ahead go ahead further but I I always had a really good sense that that power curve was coming to crush us huh so that’s what you have to do get as far ahead of it as you can tell everyone where it is I’ve set some small goals say oh you don’t think this is gonna this projects gonna take long okay cool let’s just finish this first six percent which means this this and this and let’s have that done by tomorrow afternoon tomorrow afternoon comes in they’re not even close okay guess what we need to align we need to get a sense of urgency going so we can get this done that’s it I know that to encourage a sense of urgency in yourself what you can do kind of works sometimes is you think about the feeling you’re gonna have after it’s done and then consider things that you already did get done you’re have those things well you’re different but sometimes we the people have things that man we need to do and it’s just a small thing you know and like I’ll do it I’ll do it later I’m doing something right now do it I know tomorrow yeah sure that’s pretty intuitive to you but you know sometimes you just be like doing it later we’re just gonna do it later because I’m thinking about something right now or I’m doing something right now and then do it now or while you’re thinking about doing it you just do it I know yes I don’t think you’re under your kids all the time hey do the blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah you’d already be done I know that’s the thing that’s the whole point right there so when you do it when you do the thing let’s say you got a whatever you gonna respond to an email I don’t know and after you do it that just that feeling right when it’s done you’re like dang not that a that what didn’t take much a that’s not gonna be case every time but didn’t take much em beat I’m done mmm my daddy said this saying is what he’d say do it and it’ll be done that’s a good saying and as a kid I was like oh that’s like it is what it is yeah I know it is what it is you said that you don’t have to say that you know but what’s your dad’s first name technically it’s William Charles Jr okay well those like BC we have a new quote from BC PCO for Bill Charles Charles yeah yeah so BC is in the house you know do it and it is done I like that one do it and it’ll be done do it and it will be done yeah I changed it a little bit do it and it’s done yeah same thing same idea but his thing was always yeah exactly the same thing earth and the exact words BC do it and it’ll be done yeah at me as a grown adult arguably your parent words and now I’m seeing the genius of it you know doing it’ll be done like you don’t have to save it
