Binary Teaches Focus Discipline

YES or NO
A binary system means there are only two values, two answers to any question in the universe.
Yes/No. 1/0. Black/White. Tick/Cross. Go/Stay. Do/Do Not.
SIMPLE COMPUTER
Computing uses binary. Traditional computer code uses yes/no answers to get the right outcome.
The beauty is the computer can do many such Q&A in a short time to come to an apparently complex answer.
When in fact each answer is only ever a yes or no.
HUMAN COMPLEXITY
How can this help humans? Humans have a much more complex brain operation that allows alternative answers and reasoning to come to the answer quickly.
Herein lies a weakness.
With the flexibility and complexity of human thinking ‘options’ can always arise.
DISTRACTIONS
When you have a task to DO, these options could be distractions towards easy work or excuses to Do Not do the scheduled task.
MAYBE
Left unchecked and without self discipline or management human beings as individuals and in their teams or families can move from ‘Binary’ to ‘Yes/No/Maybe’ Or a Yes/No/Kind of getting things done.
MISSION CREEP
That what I observe in others and in myself.
To allow acceptance of ‘kinda’ doing a job is to allow ‘mission creep’ into our purpose and plans.
The scheduled task and expected outcome is not completed, causing confusion and delay for you and the people connected in your family, work or community.
In Binary - ‘Maybe’ has no meaning. Without the clarity of a yes or no, you have only confusion and delay.
TRY AND FAIL
We could try and fail. When we do this we learn and can set the next action to follow up.
That is not a ‘Maybe’ though, you have not ‘kinda’ done it: you did do the task but the outcome wasn’t as intended.
Doing a task is not the same as completing the job, achieving the goal.
In Binary - yes means you did the task even if it’s a fail.
STEP BY STEP
What a ‘Kind of done’ might mean is the task was done in the allotted time. But not completed.
Why might that be?
It may well be a scheduling and planning issue. Too much was expected to be done to complete the task in the allotted time. Maybe the task needed splitting into more steps. Or more time allowed.
PROPER TIME
The reason behind the ‘try and fail’ is often that too much was expected to complete the task in the allotted time.
Or it could be poor time planning. If you set time to paint a picture of today’s sunset, you won’t complete if first you don’t set time to gather equipment and resources needed to allow you to sit there undisturbed and create that painting. It could mean a whole day’s preparation to be ready, buying materials , preparing the space , setting the work space up...
If any one task can’t be completed in the allotted time then the preparation has failed to break down the steps sufficiently.
In Binary - the steps need to be as small as necessary for a yes to be achievable.
FOCUS
Adopt binary thinking to your work, preparing the things you want to do into projects that can be broken down into basic steps.
If each step is simply achievable, yes or no, black or white, then you can review and manage yourself and others to be both focused on the objectives ahead, and disciplined in taking the steps to get to those goals.
Banished are roll over jobs, carry over work, missed deadlines and deliveries.
You, your family and your team become more disciplined by focusing your effort in completing realistic steps.
While there are more steps in a binary approach you gain more time because you lose the roll over and carry forward work that clutters you days.
Would you be happy with that Binary Approach
Yes/No
