15 Pax gathered at the Tomahawk to discuss the Margin and get in some partner work.

The theme for the month of November is Margin (Thanks Chicken Hawk). Simply stated, the Margin that time left available after the demands of life have been accomplished. It can be used intentionally or squandered on selfish desires. YHC admitted to the Pax that I stink with the margin. I am reactive to my use of the margin and it has no purpose or consistent mission. There are lots of excuses, none of which matter of course, but the accountability lies with me. YHC asked the Pax to consider their Margin and its use throughout the workout. And away we went...

After some deliberate thought, I recognized that my "clean plate" syndrome was affecting the use of my Margin. YHC does not like to have unreal email, texts, Twitter messages or Slack messages. It was killing me to look down at my phone and see a notification that I had a missed message. Because of this, I feel the need to check my inbox frequently for updates and that is wasted time. I have changed my notifications and plan to use that time to be more present with M and 2.0s. The Pax agreed to hold me accountable and seek to find ways to impact their Margin as well.
