“Dear Elizabeth: What would constitute an action for the log versus a task in the project plan schedule? I don’t know where to put my tasks, and it’s confusing to have them in two places.”. This is actually a pretty common question; I’d say it comes up at least once a month! So, first: know that you are not alone in wondering what goes on the project schedule and what tasks are better suited to a to-do list or action log.

The bigger the improvement, the happier we are. But it doesn't work like that in reality. Yes, it would be : Great to run 10 kms in 35 mins, every time you get out to run.

As a high school teacher, I knew I was lucky in that I could keep my job and work from home during the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, trying to manage my newly virtual classroom and figure out what my new work day should look like has not been easy. In addition to my job as a teacher, I’m also a mom with an active preschooler at home. I’ve found that it’s almost impossible to balance my work and his needs (physical, emotional and educational).

When I first became a Scrum Master, I heard the phrase assume positive intent over and over again. And it really resonated with me. It made sense. I started to notice how quick I was to jump to conclusions about other people’s intentions. When I check myself on the assumptions I am making about other people’s intentions, I am more effective at navigating situations in a positive and productive way.

I bought a new notebook three months ago. And there it sits on the shelf. All new and unused. Just like the outfits in my childhood wardrobe, waiting for ‘Sunday best’ Similarly, when people buy my book ‘Visual Mojo’ I tell them it’s been designed for them to write in it. It’s a true work-book. But many people don’t write in it.

Not everything needs to be planned, controlled, organised and structured. Come on. not everything! We have an incredible resource in us: our experience, ideas and ingenuity. The thing is. we may not trust ourselves to provide from that resource. Improvisation pioneer and playwright Keith Johnstone, says that we edit, censor and judge our ideas. And so much so, that our ideas may never make it out of our head!

It’s how we make sense when nothing seems to make sense. As facts change and there is new data, we know more. As more information comes to light, the situation changes and we learn more. Then we act again. As we learn more from those actions, we act again. It’s one of the best reasons for getting into action sooner. Sooner than you think you should.

The book to read. It’s all in the future. and our thinking about ‘that which is yet to come’ adds so much to our feelings of overload and overwhelm.

We’ve all got plenty on the go. Our crowded to do list may not be just a sign of a lot happening in our life. It can also be a sign of some decisions yet to be made. Maybe we’re waiting on someone or some more information, or another piece of the puzzle to fall in to place. Other times we’re waiting for the “right time” When is that exactly?
