Learning to thrive amidst chaos
A few weeks ago I wrote a post on Murphy’s Law and how to handle it. I got a couple of comments from a friend later on saying that the strategies I had outlined had been very insightful for him. He detailed how he had been invited to a speaker’s meeting which he did not want to miss. He stated that he did everything to ensure that Murphy’s law would not derail him and had tremendous success. The good thing about having a strategy against Murphy is that a good strategy enables us to thrive even when everything falls apart. In other words, we maintain our productivity despite the chaos that Murphy tends to bring into our lives. Learning to thrive in times of chaos is therefore, in essence, having order and a sense of organization in life.
