One of my biggest pet peeves is working with people who don’t pull their weight. I have been known to make snide remarks at non-weight-pullers (not proud, just confessing).

Here’s something I keep re-discovering and re-forgetting: I can’t get people to do things they don’t want to do.

Getting mad at slackers yields no fruit. It adds a coat of agony to the situation. It seals in the misery.

I’m better off focusing on my actions and responses.

Notes to self:

  • Stop judging
  • Get to work
  • Find flow
  • Be the change

Maybe they’ll follow. Maybe they won’t.

Focus on what can be. Forget the rest.

That’s how I’ll pull my weight.
