I found that timing is the key to success and also something most people dont understand how to use timing to there advantage. Robert Greene, the author of "48 Laws of POWER" emphasises that timing is everything when it comes to power. Acting too soon can be just as detrimental as acting too late. "Master the art of timing" This law encourages patience, strategic delay and the ability to sense the right moment to act. R.Greene also mentions that " those who are able to remain calm while others rush around gain a strategic advantage. Mastering timing requires awareness, emotion control and deep understanding of change within people, then environment and events. Timing also has many correlations to a vast amount of attributes to modern day life. One that has peaked my interest is... Timing within business: Understanding and mastering my timing has allowed me to elevate how i work and how i condone business. For example... -Market readiness: ensuring i dont launch a product too early or force a service to potential clients. instead, waiting for the right conditions to be met, then launching my product/service with precision. -Negotiation leverage: Patience in negotiation creates pressure. Acting too quickly signals weakness, while waiting and observing allows you to make the move when you have the advantage -Scaling strategically: Businesses that rush or scale too early often collapse under their own weight. Timing Growth to match actual demand is essential for sustainable growth. In short, mastering timing in business means acting not when you can, but when you should. Its the art of syncing decisions with opportunity, readiness and momentum. Basically being on the right side of the money making frequency.

I had a conversation with a close friend a long while ago, the topic of discussion was checklist tasks. Is it inevitable that everything good, at some stage, feels like you're just checking a box? For the first time since I founded The Library, we missed a submission on Friday. To an extent this post right now is just checking a box: To convince myself that my heart remains in The Library, that I am still committed to the cause. What about friendship? When time is constricted, when the stakes are high, and the pressure is on, making time to socialise can feel like you're just keeping the contacts warm. What about God? Is a scheduled prayer when you don't feel like it ok? It certainly feels less than an enthusiastic period of worship. Are these lulls necessary? Are they bad? When a good thing feels like a checklist task, what are we to do? Is a half-hearted prayer better than no prayer at all? Is a deflated rendezvous better than sitting in your room alone? Is a short and late submission better than sacking it off altogether? Maybe I don't like that it feels like a checklist task, but maybe that's all I can muster right now. I know what life is like when I am at 100%, but maybe this is 100% of my capacity right now.
