Tasks, decisions, and initiation...
Doing, choosing, and starting...
Each of the three adds value, but one is more prized than the others.
Tasks are set up for you. Incoming. You use skill and effort to knock em down one at a time and move to the next one.
Decisions often overlap with tasks. There are alternatives, and you use knowledge and judgment to pick the best one.
And initiation is what happens when you start something out of nothing, break the pattern, launch the new thing and take a leap.
When we think about humans who have made change happen, institutions who have made a difference, cultural shifts that have mattered, we must begin with initiation.
What value-add did you spend yesterday engaged in? How about tomorrow?
