The Thinking Behind The Tweet
When I am inept I am overwhelmed by my workload. When I am overwhelmed by my workload I believe I don't have enough time. When I believe I don't have enough time I don't do what is required to remedy my ineptitude.
What a Catch-22.
Better fix that!

The Thinking Behind The Tweet
If you free up a few moments, step back, ask yourself "How much time do it have?", spend some quality time thinking before answering you just might find:
- You have only the present time, just like everyone else on the planet.
- Just like every other person on the planet, you really have no clue about how much time you have beyond the present moment.
If you think you don't have time you are right....at least from 2 perspectives:
- Like Henry Ford, paraphrased, "If you think you do or don't have time you're right."
- As any good philosopher or physicist will tell you - Time is an abstract concept...offering nothing tangible for you to possess.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet
In part, inspired by a re-reading of Michael Gerber's 'The E-Myth Revisited'. Pick a demographic - learn its psychographics - and don't forget, we're dealing with people...not statistics.
Of course, there's a softer side and a more-important justification. Only when we understand others are we able to help them. [Without such understanding we ramble along, at best, half-helping ourselves.]
