1. Get enough food to eat, and eat it.
2. Find a place to sleep where it is quiet, sleep there.
3. Reduce intellectual and emotional noise until you arrive at the silence of yourself, and listen to it.
4.
- Richard Brautigan
What's an example of emotional noise? Two acquaintances of mine got into a heated e-mail exchange over an indirect (real or perceived) slight. Get on with your life, get out of mine, who are you to judge, etc. There was a central issue in play that was giving rise to the emotion. Focusing on the issue, rather than on the players, shores up teamwork and quiets the noise. We all have something in common.
