Rule 3: Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. Don't rush or you'll forget things.

Multi-tasking is a lie!! What is really happening is you are switching your focus between multiple tasks. When you are constantly switching your focus it becomes very easy to get lost in the void of space and then you forget what you were doing. A better approach is to focus on a single outcome at a time. Once that process is defined and rolling smoothly, you can begin additional processes as you delegate specific tasks.

Here is when problems arise in the process:

1. You never finish defining a single process. You are rushing to finish 8 different tasks at the same time and you end up never finishing a single one.

2. You delegate a task to an untrustworthy individual. The individual never does the work or is too afraid to ask questions that the task is never completed.

3. You fail to communicate the status, the problem, or the bottleneck. Maybe things get busy or maybe you are wanting to solve the problem yourself. It doesn't matter why. It just matters that communicate upstream has failed.

4. You do not receive communication from upstream for next steps. Everyone is busy working on their piece of the puzzle, but there are also individuals gatekeeping information. If information is not making it through the whole process, there are going to be things that fall through the cracks. Each of these are a new vulnerability.

5. Over-processing leads to burn out. Un-necessary steps, excessive details, un-necessary complexity, over-engineering, and un-necessary work forces individuals to waste resources and makes tools overly complex that no one wants to learn how to use it. Humans find beauty in the simplicity of a process, and get agitated when they find themselves in an information loop.

Learning to operate the system can become overwhelming as it is. When we implement governance without understanding the tertiary effects, we find ourselves in a crisis of our own making. It's rarely ever an act of G-d that destroys, but rather an act of selfish desires. This is why it is important to communicate transparency and to not make decisions in a bubble. Our actions effect others, so we must consider them when we make a decision.

More to come, but until then remember... stay alive.
