Project Delays

What delays your projects? If you work outside, the weather is a monster factor. If you need internet, not having a connection is the big issue. If you don’t have the right tools, you’re fighting against that the entire time. All these are yes or no answers – you either have it or you don’t – call these fixed delays. Variable delays, are the unknowns, the unquantifiable, the questions that arise from people not sure about what to do, misunderstanding the problem or perhaps just not sure as to what they should be doing.

Hold your own Accountability

The only person that will hold you to your commitments is you. Everyone else is hoping you get them done, wanting you to get them done, but they can’t make you do them. Your commitments are your accountability and it’s all on you what you decide to do with them. Accountability is a slow-burn, you don’t get a gold star for one commitment, but each time you hit a commitment, you hit that goal, you do what you’re going to say – well it might not be a gold start, but the trust and belief from people in what they
