Tactical Living

Click back to check out our last episode where we reveal why it is imperative to open up in order for you to receive gifts in this world.

In today's episode, Clint and I discuss why handing over $25k to a stranger was not something that gave us buyer's remorse.

Instead, it was one of the most mission-driven decisions that we have made.

That mission is to crush the mental health stigma that is associated with first responders, military service members and their families.

Ashlie: (00:17)
Welcome back to another episode of Tactical Living by LEO Warriors. I'm your host, Ashlie Walton.

Clint:

And I'm your co-host Clint Walton.

Ashlie:

In today's episode, we're going to talk about the difference between multitasking and switch tasking and how not knowing the difference means that you're about to fry your engine, so just sit back, relax and enjoy today's content. I know that switch tasking is something that we've made mention of in the past, but I'm bringing it up again because without understanding how important it is to realize that there is no such thing as multitasking, it's difficult for us to fully disconnect from work.

Clint: (00:57)
Something that really hits me is the switch tasking and multitasking concept. For me personally, I love to come home after my all my first day off and clean the house. Something I've always just enjoyed to really do. Normally I do this if Ashley's not here, if she is, then we clean together, but she's more do one thing at a time and very direct in her approach to cleaning and I'm the complete opposite. I pull out everything and I just hop all over the house and kind of do things backwards in her mindset, but it makes sense to me. But I really started realizing how negatively that really impacts the whole process and my cleaning. I start in the kitchen and then something comes to me where, okay I'm one of vacuum now and then now I'm going to clean the bathrooms and I'm kind of going back and forth between all three of these instances and simultaneously I'm doing one thing after the other thinking, well I need to let the bleach sit in the toilet a little bit longer. I need to fold the blankets before I bleached the floors. And it's just, I got to a point to where I really started looking at, okay, I'm done cleaning now and then I look and half the house hasn't even been cleaned cause I thought I already did it because I went from area to area of the house and kinda hopped all over the place.

Ashlie: (02:49)
I love that you point that out and it's a proven fact that by focusing on one task at a time, you're significantly more efficient when it comes to time management and your proficiency and also the final outcome of whatever it is that you're working on and as cleanse. Talking about this, we're getting ready to do a huge renovation at our house. We're adding on 1500 square feet as you sit there. I know that is the size of a lot of people's homes as it is and we're very fortunate to be able to be in a situation to where we have the capability to do that. It goes a little bit further than just the vanity of expanding on our house. In looking towards the future, which is something that my mind constantly seeks, it's a great business investment when it comes to selling our house 15 years from now, which is what is on our plan. In addition to that, we're creating what will now be a workout room, but we're adding windows, a bathroom and a closet so that we can also have it labeled as another bedroom and eventually my dad will probably end up moving in with us and that will be his space.

Ashlie: (04:05)
And truth be told it's not 1500 feet or 1500 square feet of just space for my dad. We're also adding onto our bedroom and our closet and essentially making it the dream space for us because we spend so much time in there and also because we know that we want to enjoy our space in the way that we want to for the next 15 years. And the reason I'm explaining to you what this project is for us is because when it comes to switch tasking versus multitasking or essentially the the insignificance or the non-existence of what multitasking even is. My dad's a contractor and I couldn't imagine multitasking while building a house. Essentially it would be like framing up our bathroom and then going to frame up our new workout room and then framing up our closet. It shouldn't work that way. Instead you focus on one task at a time, you frame up the entire remodel and then you move on. If you're getting into the electricity, you don't just wire up one room if you take into account everything.

Ashlie: (05:23)
And on Friday we had the draftsman out here measuring our whole entire house inside and out, reviewing my rough drafts of our blueprints so that he can create them to give to the engineer. And I couldn't imagine if he had just done one bedroom inside it out and then gone outside and done the outside of it and said he had a partner with him and very meticulously. One was using an iPad to video record while the other one was measuring from wall to wall angle to angle and they were it one piece at a time. Starting from the outside, working their way in. And by noticing that and seeing how proficient they were, not only by measuring, but it was brilliant to have somebody walking through video recording as they announced different measurements throughout each room, wall by wall. And I would imagine in picturing them sitting at their desk or wherever they start to draft these prints that they will be watching the video and they will be going through starting one room at a time, making sure that every angle, every measurement is exactly perfect so that it matches our house exactly as it should and by recognizing that by not multitasking, we as human beings do not have the capacity to simultaneously run multiple programs.

Ashlie: (06:48)
Even a computer will get bogged down by trying to do that, but by doing one thing at a time, the proficiency, the accuracy, and essentially the perfection in what the final outcome is going to be and has been based on past experience. It doesn't make sense to try to pull yourself in multiple directions when you can get one task done in a much shorter amount of time with much more ease than trying to do several things at once. And we're not taught to do that. We're taught that if you can multitask, that's the number one asset that you should list on your resume. Just

Clint: (07:30)
Think of this as an example. People say I can drive and talk on my cell phone at the same time. How many accidents are actually caused from doing that?

Clint: (07:42)
Most of the time you can get by with doing that and it works out perfectly fine. But if you're focused on your phone conversation and you're not focused on your actual driving, it takes away from what you're doing at that moment.

Ashlie: (08:00)
Yeah. And if you're not sure, I would recommend asking somebody that is a passenger of your vehicle, what they think of your demonstration of being able to quote multitask. And I say that because my dad thinks he's a perfectionist when it comes to juggling a million things at once, primarily inside of the motor vehicle that he's operating. And it will be the first to vouch that essentially he could become one of the most dangerous drivers on the road by doing that. But he thinks he has it under control. And a lot of times we're not humble enough to be able to take a step back and to have that self actualization and the realization pointed out to us from somebody else. And sometimes that's all it takes. Maybe when you're at work, there's a project that you submitted and it took your boss pointing out to you.

Ashlie: (08:52)
Many mistakes that you made on that project. In retrospect, were you doing many other things at that time? Maybe checking emails, looking at your phone, having someone come into your office, and this goes into any job. I can't think of a single job where it would be of less importance to be able to focus on one thing at a time. Even if you're flipping burgers at McDonald's, they have certain people set up in certain stations for a reason. Some of the most brilliant business minds in the world know that this is what produces the most effectiveness. It's not by chance, but it takes trial and error. It wasn't always that way. I would imagine that the first McDonald's opened up with maybe one or two employees, if not just the business owner themselves doing everything at once until they let go of some of that authority and allowed themselves to not be spread so thin by delegating the tasks. And that's done in a very intentful way because business owners, owners especially know that you have to have very diligent focus and we can take our social media accounts, for example, Clinton, I no longer and haven't for some time managed our own social media accounts.

Ashlie: (10:09)
And we do that with intent because it allow us, allows us and afforded us the opportunity to be able to focus on more projects intentfully without spreading ourselves too thin and thinking that we need to have control and do everything ourselves all at once. It's impossible. And if you think that it's, it's possible, I would argue. What do you think the quality will look like on the back end?

Ashlie: (10:33)
And I think it takes a very diligent focus to be able to lay out what your plan should look like on a day to day basis and to understand what those tasks are. Write them out and then execute them one at a time. And in doing that, it's my recommendation that you go for the most challenging, most daunting pain stinking one that you don't want to do and tackle that first. Everything else becomes easy and essentially you're left with a little bit of extra time at the end

Ashlie: (11:06)
And when you're able to do that and you know that you have the ability to lay out what your focus points are and you execute them one by one without needing to take on several of them at all at once, then you're able to get things done in a more effective way. And by being effective, it allows you to get things done quicker. Am I doing things quicker? It allows for more of the perfection that you seek. And by doing that, it really enables you to focus more time on the things that are most important. The time with your family, with your friends, with your pets, the time to do the hobbies, more time on your health, your fitness, more time to read, to meditate, to go to church, to expand on whatever it is that's most important for you in your life. And when you understand that sometimes all it takes is creating a list and then executing that list by one item at a time, then you're really able to enjoy your Tactical Living.

Ashlie: (00:18)
Welcome back to another episode of Tactical Living by LEO Warriors. I'm your host, Ashlie Walton.

Clint: And I’m your co-host, Clint Walton.

Ashlie:

And in today's episode we're going to talk about why having the inability to disconnect from work is not just impacting you. So just sit back, relax and enjoy today's content.

Ashlie: (00:38)
a little over a year ago, I'll paint the setting for you. When Clinton, I would get home from work. I had managed a pediatric practice. Of course, Clint is a police officer. We'd usually eat dinner, workout,

Ashlie: (00:56)
And we would sit on the couch for hours until we went to bed. And this wasn't a moment where we were connecting, snuggling, watching a movie together. Instead it would look something like the news playing in the background, Clint playing a game on his phone and me reading and getting completely engrossed in a romance novel on my Kindle.

Ashlie: (01:25)
And in retrospect, I can remember countless nights that looked exactly like that.

Ashlie: (01:34)
And this is not the fault of either one of us, but this is the fault of both of us. What that led to was such a disconnection in our emotional state that it affected everything else. It affected our sex life, it affected our communication and it affected us to the point to where we were not growing at that point. Essentially we were stuck in a rut. We weren't in a place to where we were expanding and experiencing life anywhere near what's comparable now

Ashlie: (02:13)
so what's changed? First starters, we don't get home and plop on the couch and we have very intentional direction with regards to our marriage. We have rules and guidelines and goals that are set up on a consistent basis and we have many projects that we're working on. Even like this podcast that you're listening now to now that we work on together

Ashlie: (02:43)
and the reason that I'm pointing this out is because neither one of us were able to disconnect from work at the time. And I believe that that is the foundational premise for why that negative behavior started in the first place. And then [inaudible] backing up a little bit before we even got home, we would talk to each other on the phone and unload our day.

Clint: (03:08)
Yeah.

Speaker 2: (03:09)
Not in a way to where we were pointing out the things that worked to our favor for that day, but we were unloading all of the suck to one another.

Ashlie: (03:18)
And this in no way means that I do not believe that you should share these moments with your partner.

Ashlie: (03:24)
However, what I've discovered is that a majority of the time, none of that suck matters and the crop that you experience on a day to day basis should essentially be put up on the bookshelf, especially when you're on your drive home to hang out with one another and to be with your family, to be with your kids

Ashlie: (03:45)
and by having some of the practices that we've mentioned in the past few episodes and one that we're going to, ones that we're going to continue to build on during this month.

Ashlie: (03:55)
I just want to point out what a difference it can make in your life.

Ashlie: (04:01)
Having those negative conversations with one another meant that we were building on this negative energy before we even walked through the door to see one another.

Clint: (04:11)
And in that it really impacted both of us because we were feeding off that negative influence upon one another. And then subsequently we almost kind of tied that negative emotion towards each other. Cause that's all we were talking about, right? The first words we shared when we got off of work. And so it brought up those negative emotions in instead of just springing at the positivity of actually getting to come home and be with one another and share that space and open up a world of opportunity surrounding our days and our lives.

Ashlie: (04:55)
and as you sit there, you might be wondering, so how do you do that? And I just want to go over a very simple tool that I didn't learn from anybody. It came to me naturally during one of my meditations when I was having a difficult time relaxing my mind and just shutting off that inner chatter.

Ashlie: (05:14)
And if you could just hold onto this method and practice it during this week and send us a message on Facebook @leowarriors1 or Instagram @leowarriors. Send me an email. My email address is in the show notes, just explaining to me if you tried this and if you did, what impact it had during your week. And so the process is simple. As you get in your car and you're starting to drive home, I want you to pay very close attention to any moment that you have when a thought comes into your mind as it pertains to work at all. That could be something that you experienced throughout your day and inevitably it might have something more to do with what you have to do for the days coming forward. And when you do that, I want you to picture a balloon, picture what color that balloon is, and put that thought into the balloon any way that feels right for you.

Ashlie: (06:15)
Maybe you put that thought into your balloon and you see the energy. Maybe you can see a caption with that thought inside of the balloon and I want you to picture it being released up into the sky until you can't see it anymore. And as you're driving home with the very intentful awareness, continue to do the same thing. Anytime that you have a thought that creeps in about work, put it into that balloon, watch it fly away until it's gone and start to focus on something more impactful, something more impactful with regards to what it is that you're about to experience as you walk into your, to your home, to your family. And as you do that, I want you to fully start to embrace what that feels like. Create a mental to do list if you need to, for all of the things that you're about to experience when you come home. And furthermore, the things that you want to experience when you walk into the door.

As you sit there, it might look something like, I have to send this person an email. Put that email inside of your balloon. Picture the color of the balloon. Fill your hands. Is it unclenching the string? That's holding the balloon to you and let it go.

change that thought process into what it is that you're going to see and experience when you come home. Picturing the handle of your front door, picturing your dog as it's wagging its tail, excited to see you when you come home and everything thereafter that follows in that picture that you want to exist when you walk into the house and as you continue to drive home as new thoughts start to creep in, something that upsets you at work from the day prior. Put it into your balloon and let it go. And the reason this is so important is because it allows you to use intention and to use the cognitive powers that you have inside of you. You have this brilliant mind that's capable of doing much more than it has ever taught to us.

Then you have the capacity to be able to change your reality and all of that crap that suck that gets bottled up day in and day out is inevitably going to inevitably going to start to change what your day looks like when you get home. If you don't want to plop on the couch and sit with your cell phone until you go to bed, decide that with intention on your drive home. What does that new to do list look like for you? And if you're worried or feel that anybody that you live with might think that this is off the wall by disrupting the pattern. I commend you for that and what I encourage you to do is explain to the people that you live with, that it's time to change things and that you're not happy and comfortable with what the living situation looks like when you're at home together.

This will allow you to expand on the creative energy and the input from everybody that you live with and by doing that, that positive to do list that you start to create each day on your way home will make big impacts not only on you but on your family, especially on your spouse and on your kids. If that means that you're going to have a picnic out on your front porch because you've probably never done that before. Why not get creative and think outside of the box? This social norm doesn't have to be normal for you, and when you understand that and you know that you have the ability to create your own reality and to make the picture look like exactly what you always thought it would, then you're really able to enjoy your Tactical Living
