Ok, one more post from The Race! (The novel by Dave Shields)

Some of you know I tend to move quickly - looking to learn the next lesson in life.

At work I am always interested in identifying the fundamentals, the "truisms" that we all operate under.

On the bike [or, more generally in triathlon] I am always interested in the fundamentals, the "truisms"... Sound familiar?

So, it's easy to understand that I am continually interested by people who ask, Jason, what's the latest in productivity?"

I need help in answering this, because the latest is the oldest... I mean, the problem we all face is the problem we have always faced!

In a nutshell here is what I have:

Each of us needs to make effective decisions more consistently.

In the fictional book "The Race," Ben's coach says:

Master your mind. Knowing what to do when is the mark of a champion.

So, check out your workday (whenever/wherever you are reading this) and I invite you to ask yourself:

What decision do I need to make, and what can I do about that next?

One more post from the race... I envey you Jason. It was 20 years ago when I ran my last tirathalan. It was three years ago for the last half marathon. I have been neglecting myself for the past several years. I decided a week ago to begin working out again. Today I rode my bicycle for the first time in several years. I had two flat tires in less than three miles. Repaired one and walked home with the other. Bought a new tube and now that's flat. Everything's against me. I'll hang in there and continue.
