Don’t Tip Your Hand


Sometimes organizational life feels like a card game, right? You stare at your hand and wonder:

  • What’s the best use I can make of this mess I just picked up?
  • Did anyone shuffle this deck?
  • Can we fast forward to the part where I admit defeat?

Before you fold, make sure you know what table you just sat down at.

The same cards have different value in different games. And, different games require different strategy.

You can always make a smart play.

No need for your poker face - laugh, cry, I won't know.

P.S. If you have a question or topic you’d like me to write about, just hit reply to this email and let me know. I’d love to hear which game you’ve been playing lately.
