F***
That was my favorite word this morning.
I was supposed to publish something, and I forgot. It would’ve been bad enough if I was expected to do something and forgot. This was even worse, though, because everything published as was planned WITHOUT something important accompanying it.
Needless to say, that was another F moment.
First I messed up on the article, and now I F up on this. In the past three days I’ve messed up more than in two months. That’s pretty bad.
I think that tells me something I’m doing is off.

At the heart of it, I think it’s a systems-problem.
I’ve created great systems for myself, but I haven’t yet raised my standard so they’re habitual.
On the bright side, each of these mess-ups is one step closer to solidifying that higher standard.
I’ve mentioned this before, but I think setting systems is a process of raising a bar, falling below it, not liking how it feels, and making that new bar a standard.
At its heart, this is about increasing my responsibility.
