5 Steps From Now, And Before

SUV In Iceland

If you’re reading this, you likely have something you’re tasked with today.

It might involve you exercising your expertise on a subject.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), the expectation is that you’ll do more than the one thing you’re really good at. You’re expected to do more better.

And rather than racing around to learn how to code, understand the psychology of colors and balance a spreadsheet, consider where the project will be at 5 steps from now and where it was 5 steps before now.

How can you make it better for those who are about to touch it and those who will start it next time (eventually handing it over to you).

The more we can see just outside our blinders, the more smooth our execution can become and the less likely the work we touched will come back to us to be fixed or improved.

We don’t have to be masters of everything, but understanding the nuances of a project before and after we touch it can make the entire system stronger.
