How do you get out of work triage?
I have been in triage since August, when I got back from my week visiting with Alice Parker. Too many projects and too little time leads to spending every work moment just trying to “staunch the bleeding” of the most urgent project in front of you.
The only way to get out of triage is to finish projects faster than you add them. That means saying no to projects, however desirable, if they will conflict with the ones you’re currently working on.
You can love everything you do and still say no to more of it. Because triage is not a creative space to be in.
