Pro Tip: Filling A Bucket, One Bite At A Time

If your work requires “filling a bucket”, meaning you have a quota to make daily, can be a little daunting. The old metaphor of eating an elephant one bite at a time is helpful here. Break your task down into small increments, that way your task isn’t so big. This applies to anything in work or life. We often look at something in totality but if we take it in segments it works out better for us. Work smart, not hard I always say.

It’s great when you make a comeback after some adversity. You have to weather storms every so often on the job, and when things happen that gets you back on track, it’s quite awesome. Today was one of those comeback days. Struggling can reveal character and if you hold on good things can and will happen. When you comeback as a team it’s even better.

It’s beginning to look a lot like…you know the rest. Yep it’s already here.

I Gotta Be Ready, Prep Is Everything

To borrow a page from my friend Wendy I just wanna know what cause we are supposed to be insanely passionate about tomorrow. A good hate takes time to brew. I just wanna know because I wanna be ahead of the curb. Preparation is everything.
