The Eisenhower Field Test
Under pressure, a mountain guide separates urgent from important like sorting gear at dawn. If a task saves lives or plans, it is urgent; if it builds capability, it is important. Share one important task you will protect today.
Pareto for Pack Weight
Guides remove eighty percent of pack weight by ditching non-essentials. Apply Pareto: identify the twenty percent of tasks that deliver eighty percent of results, and protect them fiercely. Comment with your highest-leverage task this week.
The Rule of Three Outcomes
Before stepping out, veteran guides define three outcomes worth the trek. Everything else is optional noise. Set your three today, align work blocks around them, and share whether fewer goals actually moved more mountains.
Time Blocking as Routes and Waypoints
Treat mornings and early afternoons as immovable anchor blocks, like safe camps. Experienced guides schedule deep work there, pushing shallow tasks to lift-out hours. Try a two-hour focus anchor tomorrow and report your difference.
Managing Interruptions and Detours
The Three-Tier Response Protocol
When interruptions hit, guides triage: defer, delegate, or do in two minutes. Anything else waits until the next window. Practice saying not now with kindness, and share the phrase that works best for you.
Set Clear Radio Times
Experienced guides schedule strict communication windows. Announce your office hours in signatures and channels, then mute outside those periods. You will reclaim blocks of focus and model respect. Comment with your communication window experiment.
Recover After Derailment
A canoe guide taught me to eddy out after a mistake: pause, breathe, scan hazards, re-enter the current with one deliberate stroke. Use a quick reset ritual, then note a lesson. Share a recovery story to encourage someone.
Tools of the Guide: Checklists, Logs, and Signals
Pilots and alpine guides swear by checklists because memory is moody under stress. Craft a short daily pre-flight list, and a shutdown list. Share your checklist essentials and inspire another reader to start theirs today.
End-of-Day Debriefs That Build Tomorrow
Five-Question Debrief
Experienced guides end days with five questions: What mattered? What moved? What stalled? What changed? What now? Capture answers quickly, adjust tomorrow, and share one honest insight to keep our community learning together.
