Thank you so much for this treasure trove of valuable information! Keep up the good work!\nAnd thank you IamBlandon, your review and words mean a lot.\n\n\nToday’s episode of Five for Friday recaps the strategic leadership emails for the week of October 9-13. \n\n\nThe emails: The three epiphanies\n\nMonday: Urgent leaders:\nPut tasks before people.\nPrioritize what’s urgent over what’s important.\nTreat symptoms instead of identifying problems.\nMistake action for progress.\n\nTuesday: There is not enough time to do everything.\n\nWednesday: If there is not enough time, I can choose what does and does not get done.\n\nThursday: What I choose to do and not do reflects my values.\n\nFriday: Not being intentional dooms you to urgency\n\n\n\nThe takeaway: \nEmbracing the three epiphanies is a foundational step for moving from managing time to managing priorities. On the days you do not make intentional choices, like my day battling my computer, you are likely living in urgency.\n\nMaking intentional choices does not guarantee you will be strategic, but it is a prerequisite.\n\nI’m including a simple visual in today’s message. If you find the 3 epiphanies compelling, consider printing it off and posting it somewhere as a reminder.\n\nToday’s intention: Reflect on your week. In retrospect, what is one to-do/not do choice you made intentionally and feel good about? What is something you reacted to, that got in the way of something you valued more? It is Friday, and I would love it if you share with me your biggest takeaway or story from this week!\n\n\n\nThat is this week’s Five for Friday rendition of The Assistant Principal Podcast. \n\nThank you for including me on your leadership journey. \n\nI look forward to seeing you...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/R9NMe_5dyHuYObgJIvbL7uDONkSHVV41r7Q-QyBj5Y8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE1MDYzLzE2MzEx/ODcxMjItYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
