Thinking and planning ahead

February 2, 2009 in leadership with View Comments

This past week at work it has been relatively slow.  It’s not that there isn’t anything to do because there is plenty.  In fact I have three major projects that are all on hold as I wait to hear if I can move forward.   As I wait I have decided to work ahead on projects that will be due in 5 to 6 months.  This may sound ridiculous to work on a project that far ahead of time, however I find that having projects in the bag will allow for better margin when the time comes.  Having these projects done ahead of time will asure that I am “ready for anything” as David Allen calls it.   Recently I have been listening to Allen’s new book “Making it all work.”  This book is a follow up to David’s best seller Getting Things Done and is quickly becoming a favorite.   Did I mention that they finally released Things the best GTD program out there in my opinion.
