A key decision every month, and sometimes more frequently, involves which items should go into your Zone of Indifference. This is especially important to those of us who are world-class worriers. Here are some questions which I've found of use:
- Does the subject inhibit positive actions with trivia or cause avoidable negative ones? If so, into the Zone.
- Has any reasonable "statute of limitations" expired? [Revisiting ancient blunders compounds them.]
- Is the item important to some but far outside of your range of influence? [Think "Bolivian foreign policy."]
- Can an urgent portion be addressed now while the rest goes into the Zone?
- What will happen if it goes into the Zone? [In most cases, the answer is "Zero."]
