(Disclaimer: I have friends and mentors and idols of sorts I look up to and ask for advice about the Big Picture stuff, and I recommend you do, too. (Hint: my two most frequent answers to WWVD are some variation of “skip it” or “get help”-even if that help comes from a friend/neighbor/babysitter and not my hypothetical trainer/tutor/assistant.)Īs far as problem-solving strategies go, this one’s a little crazy. My solution probably doesn’t look a lot like Victoria’s at the end of the day, but just considering what Victoria Beckham would do helps me see things in a new light. But I forget about that, and ask myself what Victoria would do if she lost her computer file, forgot to thaw something for dinner, or realized her son’s pants were suddenly two inches too short.
Money is an obstacle, of course, and I don’t have options like “let the nanny/butler/chef deal with it” in my repertoire. If money were no obstacle in any given situation, what would you do differently? Trunk says this is really like pretending you have unlimited money to throw at your problems.

That probably makes the mental exercise all the more successful. When I’m having problems figuring out how to get everything done, I ask myself, “What would Victoria Beckham do?” She’s not exactly my muse. (Although 5 minutes of googling shows she has some serious chops: she was just named Britain’s Entrepreneur of the Year.) I have no idea what Victoria Beckham is up to the last I heard of her she wore a stylish ensemble to Will and Kate’s wedding. You have to know what a ridiculous question this is for me. By a long shot.)Īs a spur to creative problem solving, I ask myself, “what would Victoria Beckham do?” (Note: that post is safe for work and family, but not all her posts are. When that happens (and oh, did it ever happen last week) I fall back on a trick I read on Penelope Trunk’s blog a long time ago. When it feels like I have too much to do and not enough time to do it in, nothing makes me feel “busy”-like I’m spinning my wheels-than when I have a time-consuming task I don’t enjoy.

It’s the kind that (mostly) comes from having a full life of things I love to do.īut I can only cram so many things I enjoy into the next six weeks, and I’ve having to prioritize even more than usual. It’s a good kind of busy-which is why I fight the impulse to use that loaded word. This is a full time of year for most of us, and it just so happens that too many of my own personal and professional projects occur in the next six weeks. It used to be when you asked someone how they were doing in casual conversation, they’d say “fine.” Now the answer is more likely to be “busy.”
Busy is the new fine, or so I’ve heard lately.
