Naming Orders the Chaos.
'Here the human being is using a word to order the chaos. Because that's what naming does. It orders the chaos. And that's what creation is.'
- Archbishop Mark Coleridge, explaining the Genesis Creation Narrative.
Name your Widget.
Naming our Widget is the beginning of ordering the chaos - of creating.
The mess of information that crowds our brains demanding equal attention and blurring our focus.
The noise of competing priorities that distracts us.
The right versus right decisions that perplex us.
The problems that demand our solutions.
The impulsive reactions.
Name the Widget.
What decision will serve our Widget?
What decision will serve our boss's Widget?
What decision will draw us closer to it?
What decision will advance us towards our Widget?
What information can I ignore?
Good Decision Making continues our ordering of the chaos that began when we named our Widget.
Regardless of what happens next - we served our Widget.
