Description:

Expectational Debt

  • back from vacation
  • trying to get ahead of the work
  • expectations of others

We are indebted by the expectations of our employers, community leaders, friends, family, and maybe most demanding of all; ourselves.

  • How do we impose debt onto ourselves?
    • incomplete projects
    • other peoples requests
    • emotional-based long term commitment

Without completely being aware of it, we can sell the expectations of our time and energy pretty cheaply.

  • debt can be positive, its how all relationships work

Controlling Debt

  • like finances, a lot of debt can be going to places without even knowing it

  • make a list of your roles / responsibilities

  • Identify bad debt

  • Cal Newport calls it deep work and light work (Critical output / vs emails)

    • The ability to focus is the new IQ

Have strength to redouble your good commitments, and abandon your bad debt.
