Starting the week and wondering if I am picking-up where I left off from last week or starting with a clean slate? My ‘to do/project list’ certainly contains items that trace their vintage to previous days. Reality is that the current moment is the only currency I can spend. It can be as spectacular or dull as I command. Change is taking place with or without my participation, regardless of how established my routine.

For any late night television fans, this week brings the launch of Conan O’Brien ads host of NBC’s Tonight Show. It takes a monumental change sometimes to realize how comfortable the I was with Jay Leno for the past 17 years. A normal Monday night under Jay’s reign would have included the predictable ‘Headlines’ segment. Now there is plenty of uncertainty as to what will appear during this evening episode of the Tonight Show with Conan.

Makes me question: am I my routine or am I the moment?

What are you focused on? Are you repeating or innovating? How do your strengths and talents support your effectiveness each moment?
