Raise your hand, and be honest, if you've used the phrase "crazy busy"

to describe your day,

your week,

your month.

I'm an emergency-room doctor,

and "crazy busy" is a phrase you will never hear me use.

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,

which means we prioritize by degree of urgency.

Red -- immediately life-threatening.

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

Green -- minor.

And we focus our efforts first on the reds.

So start by triaging correctly.

Know your reds.
