A scare at the hospital rearranges your priorities in one afternoon. Try doing it without the scare.

Fear is an efficient but expensive editor. In a waiting room, the arguments you were having stop mattering and the list of who you want to call gets short fast, which is clarifying and a terrible way to acquire clarity. The ranking it produces is usually right. The problem is only that it took an emergency to get it.

You can run the exercise cold, without anything being wrong. Ask who you would want to speak to and what you would regret leaving unsaid, then act on one item this week. A call now is cheaper than the same call later.
