Knowing Your Limitations
April 17, 2003
Information overload is over us, under us, and all around
us. Just finding your desk some days is
half the battle, and scraps of paper and VIP notes are constantly in danger of
fluttering away if someone opens a window at the wrong time of day. "Organized!" you scream,
"I've got to get myself Organized!" Easier said than done,
obviously. Here are a few words from the wise
(not mine, thank you very much): Remember, you are only human, not some kind of automated
work machine. You were not made to plug
in, drink five cups of coffee, and work like some kind of whirling dervish for
ten hours. The average workweek may have expanded to almost fifty hours, but
Employers are crazy if they think they are going to double worker
productivity every year. Also, know your limitations. You should pay attention when your stress level is shooting
through the roof, and take steps to ease back a little. No one else can see inside your head and
figure out that you're about to blow up, taking no prisoners. Knowing your limitations and acting
accordingly is different from arguing for your limitations. Richard Bach aptly noted in his classic book Illusions : "If you argue for your
limitations long enough, they are yours for life." Knowing your limitations doesn't imply that
you should shy away from testing your abilities and making a concerted effort
to grow and learn new things.
