I get a lot of crisis calls.\u00a0 I need this by that date, I\u2019ve run out of this, I just been booked to give a presentation a tradeshow, an event and I have no current marketing materials, I got a suspicious email, I need my logo stat\u2026 most of the calls are not really a crisis.\u00a0 For some reason in today\u2019s fast-paced “I need it now” world, there is a pervading sense that if you don\u2019t have something this instant, then it is a crisis.<\/p>\n

I have a second office in North Carolina and I do not see this phenomenon occur as frequen\"crisis\"tly there.\u00a0 In fact, I remember being the one who was raising the crisis flag when we were purchasing a home there.\u00a0 At the time my Realtor said to me, \u201cYou may not appreciate it now, but you will<\/em> come to appreciate our slower pace of life.\u201d\u00a0 Boy, was he right.\u00a0\u00a0 There is a marked difference between the pace in Chicago where everything is close to fever-pitch at all times and North Carolina, where things just take their time.\u00a0 It has taught me a lot about the nature of crisis, splitting my time between these two differing paces. I have decided that the crisis of last week, last month, last year are not even remembered today. That regardless of what you call it or how you react to it, things work out in their own time.<\/p>\n

So whether you stress about it, or chill and let it happen, things do seem to get done when they need to. My personal belief is it mainly has to do with time management and scheduling, but that is a blog for another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
