We’re professionals.
We’re adults.

Professional adults know how to schedule time for that which is important but not urgent.

Planning, thinking, reading, writing, and problem solving are rarely urgent matters. When there’s seldom a deadline. There isn’t a boss looking over your shoulder, breathing down your neck.

In fact, no one actually cares if you do it.
The wheels aren’t squeaking. Therefore, they get no grease.

Unless you work like a professional adult.

You take the initiative, the ownership, and the agency.
You do it because it’s important, not because it’s urgent.

Stop doing panic work. Start doing important work.

Be a professional.
Be an adult.
