I just sent an email to my friend Janet about our plans for tomorrow. Writing it I found myself giving her a ton of details regarding everything she needed to do for our meeting the next day. By the end of the email I was feeling funny about over managing Janet's stuff. My last comment to her was, “Sorry I’m micro-managing you”.
Janet’s response was funny (and to be honest, the exact answer I needed to justify my elaborate “to do” list). “You’re not micro-managing me, Ellen. You’re mom-managing me, and being a mother of 3, it’s second nature”.
Whew, dodged that bullet. You know, the bullet that screams, “Yes, this is something you need to work on!”
