The idea
Stop judging the speed of the future by the slower pace of the past. The discipline is to reset your internal clock for exponential change and think beyond short-term routines.
This idea is one of the 26 principles in Jim Carroll’s Mastering 2026 series, a framework for adapting personal and organizational thinking to exponential change.
Why it matters
The series treats the principle as an operating discipline rather than a slogan: something to use when assumptions, skills, business models and decision cycles are changing faster than traditional planning systems were designed to handle.
