Clarity, just enough to grab the straws in time

Friday, November 2nd, 2007 by Kai Khoy

So you sit down and create a great plan for a project by planning for the obstacles and watching your time to not go over budget and time, then reality sets in. Nothing executes correctly, you end up going over budget, time, and resources. Sounds familiar? Well what it sounds like is what I have been doing the last couple of weeks you think you hit a stride and anticipate all the problems and looked for all the right signs then BAM! “your grabbing at straws” so I’m asking myself “what happen” well I call this recalibration time.

A dear friend of mine told me he was feeling off centered, so I told him about change and how it’s the only constant. Of course he already knew that because it was his idea for the quote, ha! to be honest with you I don’t even know who Heraclitus is. To be honest when I first heard of that name it sounds like a female body part. Well back to my clarity rant, every project manager, web developer, etc etc at one point has to center themselves back to being ahead of the flood gate instead of behind it. We find that place in our minds that help us remember how truly different and unique we are to this world and this place is what either drivers us or drives us insane. The easier route is the insane route and the harder route is what pushes us to grab at those precious straws we so badly want.
