How do you adapt to shock and change?
Hey, I'm curious how well you're doing with things right now. If you were recently in a lockdown, you were probably being tested with your Adaptability.
Think back to the last time you had a lockdown during COVID or you had something significant changed in your daily routine.
How well did you cope with that? Did you go with the flow and just adapt and change routines? Were you like “well if we can't do this we can do that” or did you really stress out? Well-being is fast becoming the new currency of the preferred workplace and our daily lives.
And some of us really struggle with change, and with a lot going on around us it can stop us from being able to focus–correction, perhaps we don't know how to focus with all those distractions going on–so how do you focus when things are changing constantly? When you've got an interruption when you've got people talking in your environment?
Gosh, think about the old whiz-bang introduction of open-plan work environments!!
How do you focus on deep work, deep thinking, how do you concentrate when there's lots of noise going on around you?!
I'd love for you to reflect on the last time you struggled and you had to adapt.
The last time you had 50 balls you were trying to juggle.
The last time you had kids or friends or family home with you when you're trying to work.
How did you get through that?
What superpower did you call on to get it done?
Did you put yourself in a different room?
Did you get family to come and help?
Could family come and help? Do you even have family around that can come and help?
I'm really curious about your strategies to cope with change?
How adaptable are you when the you-know-what hits the fan and we get told by the government or by our boss or by someone else, a partner, relation loved one, that we need to adjust our daily routines?
If you're struggling financially right now because of the impact of COVID globally–not just here in Adelaide–how do you adjust to that? Have you got money saved up? Do you have a cushion? Have you got cash stashed under the bed?
Be safe and as always, be amazing!
Dan :)
