Need a capacity check? Here’s is an example of Lee’s Decision-Making Quadrant. Use this tool to think through what you must do, what you should do, what you could do, and what you want to do. Compare that to the amount of time you have available in your day, week, month, and year.

How Jesus Approached Disappointed People (from Christa Hutchins):

Show compassion and preserve relationships.
Stay in the present and let go of the past.
State the truth and choose not to argue.
Be direct and deal openly.

Sometimes you have to make your plans fit your capacity and other times you have to stretch your capacity to fit your plans. -Christa Hutchins #marthamaryshow Share on X
