Ever feel like that? Just keep moving. Just keep pushing on. No time to look up and assess because there’s work to do.
I can’t remember where I read this, but an author I recently read talked about action in this way.
Let’s pretend you’re at point A, and you want to get to point B. If you just start moving as fast as you can, there are 359 degrees of wrong. Some of those paths will lead you closer to your goal than where you started, but half will take you further from your goal than where you started.
You might tear off like a bat out of hell when there’s work to do, but what if you’re heading the wrong direction? Maybe not 180 degrees, but what about even 45 degrees?
You might be envious when you hear someone say, “That Jenny, she really works hard. I see her in the library all the time.”
Not me. If someone said that about me, I’d take that as a wakeup call. What am I doing wrong? Unless you enjoy being in the library…then that would be different.
But if you’d rather spend some of your time NOT studying, then you’ve got to look around from time to time. You’ve got to create a plan and asses your progress.
Guess what? That is precisely what the April issue of the Physician Assistant Exam Scholars Newsletter is all about. Doing more with less because you’re traveling in a straight line. And even better, I’ll explain how to tell if you’re on the easy path and not lost in the woods like Hansel and Gretel.
Wasn’t that old lady’s house made out of candy?
(Oh, hey if you watched the 2020 Greta and Hansel movie let me know what you thought about it. I’d love to hear more.)
Okay, now is the time. The April issue is taken by carrier pigeon tonight to the printer along with the address of all members in good standing. Let’s give your name to that nice pigeon.
