The meeting finishes, most make for the door, they bail out. The conference session finishes, most people bail. Creative session at work, session done, people bail out. Imagine what would happen if you just hung in there for 2 or 3 minutes, to regroup, capture learnings, ponder next steps, process what went down, look at the actions you were tasked. Instead most bail out, onto the next thing... more email, messages, scrolling, what did I miss out on... busy stuff. You don't even need that long to join the few, who stay, process, ponder, plan, reflect. Reflection is hard, yes. There is magic in resisting the bail out. As Steven Pressfield wrote in the War of Art, your Muse wants you to stay back, Resistence wants you to bail out. Listen to your muse. Just try it, see what it feels like to be with the few who don't bail out. Cool pic thanks to Paul Hanaoka. GB
