[25:10] – I work best in multi-hour blocks, so I’m having trouble when my schedule doesn’t allow it. I don’t want to lose momentum and forget where I was in my thinking. I think the idea of leaving a note for myself (breadcrumbs) would work, but I’m having trouble implementing it. I see two problems. First, it often takes me 15 minutes to write the note. Is that typical? It seems like a lot of wasted time, especially when you factor in the time lost to context-switching between tasks. (This is especially acute when I find myself stopping in the middle of something because of the schedule I set at the beginning of the day—instead of says, an appointment with a client.) Second, how do I keep track of and use these notes? I use OmniFocus for running my life, but it isn’t suited to capturing notes. —Margaret

[32:35] – Last week the club was asked where they need margin most: Time, Finances, Health, Emotions, and Creativity. The discussion evolved from people’s immediate needs to how all places of margin come from dependencies on each other. How can we explore individually and together more about the dependencies of all of these pieces of life and how they work together to give us the margin we seek? —Steven Scott Foster
How can we move forward in one area of margin when all the areas of margin are dependent upon one another?
