Trusting the process
Over the last couple weeks I’ve been very busy sort of advocating for a big set of projects at work and got my wish. There is buy in from a bunch of people who could otherwise stand in my way.
Then yesterday I started trying to figure out how to start these projects “the right way.” This basically fully stopped me. I had no idea how to proceed. I mean I need some roadmap stuff and some milestones, normal stuff. But I felt like there was a set of step-by-step instructions I was missing.
Then today I realized I should continue to barrel forward toward my goal and not get overly hung up on the process. Just use it as the guardrails it’s meant to be to help keep things on track. If I’m spending hours on the paperwork it’s my attitude and the way I’m using it to hide behind that’s making it into red-tape.
My secret weapon in the workforce is I find something I want and have reasons I want it and then go after it. This defeats almost everyone else in advance because they don’t know what they want and don’t know why they want to just live with the corporate inertia.
