Lately, I’ve been fascinated by how foraging animals adapt to unpredictable environments waiting for the right moment, shifting strategies when resources are scarce, and balancing risk with reward. It got me wondering: could those same principles help us stay productive when work feels chaotic?
As someone who juggles a busy practice and side projects, I’d love to hear how others approach this. Do you find it better to “wait out” distractions like a predator stalking prey, or do you pivot quickly like a scavenger finding new opportunities? Maybe there’s a sweet spot between patience and adaptability that keeps momentum going without burning out.
Curious if anyone has tested these ideas especially those with unpredictable schedules or high-pressure roles. How do you decide when to dig in versus when to switch gears?
