Woke up this morning and for the first time I just didn’t feel like shaving. I’m laying there in bed at 4am thinking I could get another 20 minutes of sleep. As I laid there thinking about the 20 minutes it occurred to me 20 minutes is just not as much as you think. Also, if I make the precedent of skipping a shave today it would lead to skipping the next day. This could also lead to a lax atmosphere with coworkers I’m leading. A slippery slop if you think about it. The whole, “make your bed every morning” mindset to success.
So, reluctantly I got up, grabbed my gear, and trudged off to the latrine. Due to the power of process I turned what could have been a mediocre morning into a great morning. I was able to get a great shower, a great shave, and a great start to my day.
So, here’s my question to the rest of you. Have you ever had somewhat of the same experience where the power of process brought you through to the other side. A task that you weren’t looking forward to, but you got it done anyway and felt great about it? I’m curious if I am not the only one.
