Episode notes
Give Them Exactly What They Ask For
- Do give the committee exactly what they ask for to get your paperwork approved and finish the job.
- Tara repeatedly sent revised documents and Byron Katie urged "Do what they say, send it back" as the fastest path to results.
Resentment Is The Hidden Cost
- Resentment at being 'not supported' costs time, sleep, and efficiency even when others are actively responding.
- Tara woke at 3am upset; Katie showed that the committee's repeated requests are forms of support, not sabotage.
Turn Your Judgment Around For Practical Change
- Do turn the judgment around and apply it to yourself to find actionable change (for example, "I don't support the company").
- Katie asked Tara to notice how she gossips and resists, then to try cooperating instead to get what she wants.
