Always Dealing with Crises
Do you ever get the sense that you don’t have time to deal with the secondary things, because you have to deal with so many consistently demanding fires and crises? Well, guess where most of those fires and crises come from? Correct — from secondary things that were ignored because of all the fires and crises. This syndrome does not self-correct — it self-perpetuates.
— David Allen, Ready for Anything
