In life, no matter how much you plan, things might go awry. That’s when you’ll see how important it is to adapt. The ability to adapt is going to give you an edge in life because when things are not going as planned you can adapt and pivot to a different way of doing things quicker than most will be able to.

PROMPT: When did you last adapt? What did you do?

When things go sideways, we know we have to fix them. Sure, there are things that can be fixed quickly but not all things are and sometimes, a quick fix will only make things worse. Take the time to fix the issue, learn the lesson and then you can get back into the fray. When you slap up a quick fix, don’t be shocked if things go to shit shortly after. Take your time when it comes to fixing things.

PROMPT: Have you had a quick fix that ends up making things worse? If yes, what happened?

In life, we will make mistakes from time to time. However, once we do make that mistake, we should do all we can to make sure that we learn and we work on reducing the errors that led to that mistake.

PROMPT: What was the last error you made? How are you working on reducing it?

No matter how good we are at doing things, there will be some things we suck at. We should do ourselves a favour and outsource those things to people that enjoy doing them. It makes everyone’s life a lot easier and makes things move along better.

PROMPT: What are some things you outsource? Why?

We all had to start working from home because of the pandemic but thankfully, bit by bit, life opened up and we started doing things in person. While chatting on Zoom, Slack and other apps helped with connecting, I believe they pale in comparison with meeting in person and that is something that we all miss and we all should do, safely, when we can.

PROMPT: When did you last connect with someone else?
