 Every week I write a long list of things that I want to complete. These are all wonderfully exciting things to work on, and I always feel lucky when I look at my list. I work as a humanitarian supporting global response operations. Our teams work to understand the situation and bring in aid to places like Niger and Ukraine. But the daily grid is much less exotic. Here is a sample of the categories in a daily to-do list:
There are a few rare times when the universe cooperates and I finish everything on my to do list. But most weeks, I do not complete all the items, and many things get left undone.

 Performance mindsets strategies and tactics to move through injury, recovery and enhanced practice
The yearly Thanksgiving flag football game is a wonderful American tradition in our family where all ages from four to sixty head to the cow field and run the ball. This year I had the football in my hand, turned left while running and heard a pop-crunch as my right knee buckled. That sound was my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) breaking and the tearing of my lateral meniscus. I’m now eight weeks post ACL and meniscus repair surgery. Now that things have normalized, I’m beginning to share the experience and identify helpful mindset, strategy and tactical lessons from the field of human performance that are helpful in moving through this and other injuries. The lessons and experiences of this episode can have some learning and value for other injuries and maps directly to other personal challenges. Although I wouldn’t have chosen this injury, the experience has been an opportunity to practice high performance mindsets, strategies and tactics in a new dimension. |
