Sense of urgency… when do you feel it?
March 11, 2008
Ok, so I am sitting here trying to prepare for my second presentation for this week’s SCASL conference and the sense of urgency is growing… after all I am going to be busy from morning until that night through Friday with the conference and I present Friday at 8:00am. (Our district is in charge of the “local programming.”) My first session is a part of the pre-conference day. I am presenting about blogging. That is done. I am very excited about it because I made the presentation using some neat tricks in SMART Notebook software that I learned last week in Chicago.
But with the sense of urgency growing what am I doing? I am blogging… reading Tweets, baking brownies, watching American Idol, chatting on gtalk and yahoo! messenger… everything else BUT re-working my iPod-abilities session. I like to think I work well under pressure but why do I need to do so?
So when the sense of urgency hits you… what do you do?

Don’t forget that spin on google maps for the interesting intersection. Hee, hee. Im under pressure too. I have two exploratoriums that I am totally winging tomorrow evening(simultaneously, no less!!), an RSS feeds session same time as your session, AND a 3.5 hour workshop to prepare for scheduled Monday. But tonight I was all about WOW2, G-chat, a skypechat,reading my rss feeds, watching Am Idol, reading emails, and let’s not forget twittering. I think I am ADHD.

Sense of urgency? That never happens to me! I am always prepared, organized, and ready to go at any moment. HA! HA! HA! I know you are laughing now.
I procrastinate until I finally start feeling that sense of urgency too. That is when I hunker down and get it done. Most of my best work has been under pressure cooker moments. Why else do you think I work where I do?
