Classy Problems Live—formerly enterSECTIONS—is a 15-minute live virtual meetup to discuss the Classy Problems post of the day. Its origin story… Some things we learn by naming. Some things we learn by noticing. Some things we learn by doing. This one started by doing. Two people on the team decided to meet for 15 minutes to discuss the post of the day. Not to solve. Not to perform. Just to be with the material. They were generous enough to let me know. And generous enough to welcome others. One meeting eventually became two. Each has its own tone and tenor. …

The first learning I shared is quite frankly the bigger of all the takeaways. It’s by far the most useful. The most applicable. AND … The level of clarity that I have today versus what I had 365+ days ago is off the charts. Clarity comes with consequences. With implications. With action I can’t avoid. I didn’t expect that clarifying what I believed to be true would ripple through everything else. But it did. That kind of clarity is available to everybody. You don’t need a website. You could write an email to yourself every day. You could do a…

I used to think every problem  was a real problem.  Like survival was on the line. Turns out, most weren’t. Most were classy problems. A real problem is life or death. Not “feels like I’m dying,” not “this might kill me,” but actual, imminent survival. By theboss’s generosity, those moments are rare. Everything else? Time to figure it out = classy Time to practice = classy Time to discern = classy A classy problem isn’t a crisis. It’s a gift. The moment I’m given time to choose, to figure it out, I’m not surviving anymore. I’m in a living moment, …

Preciousness magnifies detail and distinction without acknowledging a larger context or environment that surrounds it. It distracts in its attention to what is…
