Thoughtful Thursday…stop procrastination, manage stress...

Listen to wisdom from a Navy SEAL
Every now and again it’s easy to get stuck, feel like we are in a rut without knowing how to get “unstuck”. Well, if you need a kick in the rear, then I suggest listening to this podcast episode with Jocko Willink. He has his own podcast however, this one he is a guest host on the Tim Ferriss show. Jocko is a retired Navy SEAL officer and author of the books, Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win and Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual. He is co-founder of Echelon front, where he is a leadership instructor, speaker, and executive coach. The podcast gets into much detail on his training regiment. What I found useful was the first twenty or so minutes where he talks about procrastination and how to get up early. What’s great about listening to Jocko is the sound of his voice; it is what you would imagine a Navy SEAL who has served in combat would sound (and look) like. That is, you stand or sit up a little taller and pay attention.
Managing Stress - Erica Ariel Fox’s article on developing your inner Lookout.
"Senior leaders have a keen eye for what’s happening around them.…what many leaders lack is what’s going inside of themselves." This article details a big performing business leader who became stressed, exhausted and overwhelmed. The first step of getting out of your own way, as Fox explains, is developing your own inner Lookout. She outlines three steps to get started.
