I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   At what age does the average person realize they weren’t given the perfect life?  Plus… what’s the best way to handle a perfectionist boss?    I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's actually a fun place to hang out. Arrow dot
net A r r oe dot net. They always teach
us in radio one thought per break. Then why are
we shoving all of our podcasts into one episode? Not here,
it's seventeen different podcasts. Ero dot net A r r
oe dot Net. Enjoy the exploration. I like asking questions.

(00:20):
The reason why is because the fund begins when you
start researching for answers such as at what age does
the average person realize that they weren't given the perfect life?
Plus what is the best way to handle a perfectionist boss?
My name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
That means I stand on the sidelines and do nothing

(00:42):
but watch, listen, study, then activate. I happen to call
it the daily mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah,
it's my morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas.
We as people tend to throw things to the side
because we think we're going to deal with it later on.
When a subject arrives inside me, I know it's time
to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but

(01:05):
by doing the research, the picture it becomes clearer. This
is the daily mess. So at what age does the
average person realize I just don't have that perfect life?
M mmmmmm mm mmm. The one word that stands in
the way here is age. So let me ask you
that question again. At what age does the average person

(01:28):
realize they weren't given the perfect life? Age is in
the way. There is not a perfect or single age
when people come to terms with where they are in society.
But life coaches do remind us that there are common
stages when the human drive to be the greatest of
all time finally takes a back seat. The first reality

(01:49):
check in point is actually as a teenager, the stage
of life when you start comparing yourself to other people.
Then comes the quarter life reality between twenty and five
twenty six, when you realize adult life is not easy,
careers don't fall into place, and your relationships with others
oh ooh ooh, what a mess. There truly is a

(02:11):
thing called a quarter life crisis. Now, real life, they
always say, starts in your forties, beloney, it starts in
your thirties. It's followed by the midlife reflection, which deals
with aging and lost dreams. So, in answering that question
about there being a certain age when you realize it
ain't going perfect. Learn how to recognize where you are

(02:34):
now and grow with what you have coming up next,
a boss that is a perfectionist, how can we find
peace on this street? Hey, thanks for coming back to
the daily mess. What's the best way to handle bosses
that want nothing but perfection from their staff? You know,

(02:54):
it's stuff like this that makes me laugh like a
two year old who has just learned the art of
talk looking back. When it really comes down to it,
a perfectionist business leader is a real world art form.
You don't win by fighting with their expectations. You win
by shaping it. Step one is to fully clarify what

(03:15):
perfect means to you, not them. You perfection is a
code for consistency, predictability, and fewer surprises. It's okay to
ask your department head to show you how to do this.
I mean, if you want perfection, show me how to
do it. Turn their perfection into standards, not pressure. Create

(03:36):
a checklist, a template, a preferred workflow. Show your work
before the final step. I'm the former production director of
a major broadcasting outlet. I live by that rule. Show
your work before the final step. Bosses like to see

(03:56):
that their ideas actually improve include them Always protect your
energy and never take another person's dance with perfectionism as
something that is extremely personal. Let it go. Bosses can
be panic driven, afraid of looking bad, and when it
all boils down to it, has their perfectionism done anything

(04:18):
positive in your life? U think about it, hi' marrow.
And that's the daily mess

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
