An old term but new to me: Zipper Merge. When a highway under construction brings two lanes of traffic into one. Instead of rushing drivers into a single lane, traffic experts lay out the barriers in a way that zips 2 long lines of cars into one. Zipper Merge. Can it be used in our personal lives? The way we work, talk, think and process other people coming into our mental lanes. I'm guilty of taking on too much at one time. Multi tasking has been the business world way for a couple of decades. To toss everything onto the highway at once causes confusion and mistakes are going to be made. Learning to live a Zipper Merge way could ease the stress and lower the anxiety. The only requirement is to turn it into a daily discipline.
