I admit that I check Facebook a few extra times a day than I should. Sometimes I’ll send a text out if I don’t get one by the afternoon. I suppose I do it because I know I won’t be able to for much longer.
The email, Facebook, tweet, and text queue will get longer the more we go down the path of creating remarkable work.
Checking the ding is an opportunity to feel momentarily good when we’ve been feeling uncertain, fearful, anxious about the work we’ve been doing for the last 20 minutes.
The distinction that everyone needs to make: is responding to the dings helping you?
I’ve admired Seth Godin for limiting the channels he engages people on. He set himself up for communicational success with his fans. He wouldn’t have time to do the remarkable work he’s doing now if he was always responding to the dings.
Same goes for us.
Stay Positive & Care If You Want, But It’s Likely You Have An Email Waiting For You
