January 11, 2007The Result of the Choices You Make
Karyl’s coworker Robin was perpetually stressed. Karyn got lunch for her so she could catch up on her work, and when she got back with the food she was dismayed to find that Robin had spent the time reading political blogs. Karyl said,
- I realize now why you’re stressed. It’s the result of the choices you make. I got your lunch to save you time, but you chose to use your time on distractions rather than on finishing your project. I understand what you’re doing, because I do it too. It takes one to know one, and I see it in you.
Robin was unconscious of her patterns, and Karyl gently spoke to make her more aware.

Sounds like a bad case of time management deficiency to me. I wonder if Karyl might be permitted, in a friendly non-accusatory or mocking way, to pass on some tips, she now uses to better manage her own time and ease the stress, to Robin? I think that would be better than continuing to watch Robin flounder and suffer with the stress.
Thank you,
