WCP103 Urgency

Should you follow up on the story you pitched more quickly than you used to pre-pandemic?

Yes, if the story itself must be told urgently. No, if you personally have a sense of urgency about knowing what your next assignment will be.

Freelancers often conflate these two very different kinds of urgency. Let’s get clear about introducing urgency into an article while feeling focused, curious, confident, or calm; and how acting from a place of anxiety/panic/urgency doesn’t lead to good decision making and outcomes.
