Favorite Takeaway:

Like Eisenhower, wise people aren't afraid to ask for time to get their thinking straight, even when the pressure is intense. And to get their thinking right, they know they must write. Writing out your thoughts allows you to see them clearly and spot flaws, biases, or gaps in logic. Whenever possible, work to understand what you think on a topic before you open your mouth.

Have a productive week!
