There are 6 things you need to focus on to gain freedom from urgency; in part one, we covered:
1. Margin: leave more time than you think you need for the things that matter; frenzy is a choice.
2. Intentionality: instill a sense of intent; in the absence of intentionality, urgency reigns supreme.
3. Boundaries: make sure that there are banks to your river; boundaries are the price of impact.
In part two, we will cover:
4. Systems: creating scalable processes for doing things in a systemic way
5. Humility: having an accurate view of oneself
6. Endings: leaders understand the value of ending things proactively
The price of impact is sustained focus
The enemy of sustained focus is unending urgency
·Freedom is a learned skill
Your freedom is a reflection of your attitude
4. Systems: creating scalable processes for doing things in a systemic way
Why should you create a system?
You need to establish systems if you want to create workflow consistency and reliability
A business without systems is a nightmare for their customers
When should you create a system?
Any time you repeatedly do something the same way because it's the best way to do it
How to create a system?
Do the task, no matter the scale, a big workflow, or a mundane task.
Document the process, write it clearly and concisely in a bullet point format
Delegate the task, hand it off to a team member
5. Humility: having an accurate view of oneself
As a leader, your desire to appear important often conflicts with the work that is important.
Three truths about you
You can’t do it all
You are really easily distracted
You like to be recognized and celebrated
What humility does:
Establishes priorities and awareness of limitations
Minimizes distraction proactively
Accepts that important work is often unseen
Books on humility
Humility by Andrew Murray
Freedom of Self Forgetfulness by Tim Keller
Humilitas by John Dixon
6. Endings: leaders understand the value of ending things proactively
Practice proactive endings.
Necessary Endings by Henry Cloud
Questions to help practice proactive ending
What are the things on your schedule or filling your time that are good but will never be best?
What is sick or unhealthy and not showing signs of getting better?
What are the things that if you're honest with yourself have been dead for a while, you're just afraid to admit it?
Our whole team is rooting for you. We want to see you win!
Remember, my strength is not for me; your strength is not for
you; our strength is for service.
