Navigating Morning Chaos
Occasionally I catch a sunrise.
Mornings! I value sleep over being on time for morning events. I will add 15 minutes to the time I think it will take me to get ready if it’s important. Still, I feel rushed.
This morning my alarm didn’t go off. It turned into one of those times when nothing went smoothly.
A Series of Unfortunate Events
I hadn’t gotten my phone plugged in properly, so it had died. Fortunately, the cat woke me up almost 30 minutes after the scheduled alarm. I felt like everything was running late from the time I got out of bed.
As I was walking out to feed the horses, I was thinking it would be delusional to think they would be waiting in the corrals. I was wrong. Two of them were waiting and the other three were just outside. When I opened the gate to put them in, they all happily came in.
Then a few more hiccups. I sat down for my morning Zoom and discovered that I hadn’t plugged my computer in, and it was dead as well. And I noticed that I had spilled some of my breakfast shake on my shirt. While my computer was charging enough to turn on, I went to change it hoping the berry stain will come out when I wash it.
It’s always my intention to be on time or even early. I almost always seem to be in an adrenalized state. The other way I show up is to be really early and have to wait. This usually happens when I’m not sure how long it will take to get somewhere because of traffic conditions. I’ve shown up for doctor’s appointments an hour early or late because I didn’t predict the traffic correctly.
My temperament puts me on the organized side. I hate being late and it usually works out. It drove me crazy when I’d tell Mike that we needed to leave at a certain time, and he’d show up at that time and want to shower before leaving.
Strengthening Teams Through PlayShop Experiences
When working with others it helps to understand their temperament. Some people have a laissez-faire approach to life and some want to be more in control. In teams pairing these two might work brilliantly. Those two people can work to each other’s strengths.
Having your team know their temperament can help avoid confusion on how they work together. It can strengthen the whole team when they see how each member works. Knowing how teams relate to other team members and others can reap huge benefits. Come let the horses help your teams get to know each other better.
