Running in CRisis Mode

We all can run in crisis mode for a time, and it can be fruitful.

But it can’t last forever. If crisis mode just becomes “our mode,” a few things happen.

We forget how to work on important things. We forget how to plan out what the important things are. We forget how to prioritize and what our priorities should be.

If all work gets prioritized by the crisis of the day, we can’t possibly know when we’ll be done with the important things.

Crisis mode can be a tool, but it can’t be a way of life.
