I'm an emergency-room doctor,

Step one to go from Crazy Mode to
Ready Mode is to relentlessly triage.

In Crazy Mode, you're always
busy, always stressed,

because you're reacting to every
challenge with the same response.

Contrast that with Ready
Mode, where we triage,

00:37
which means we prioritize
by degree of urgency.

Yellow -- serious, but not
immediately life-threatening.
12

Green -- minor.

And we focus our efforts
first on the reds.

So start by triaging correctly.
