Don’t Rush to a Decision…Keep your Options Open!

Don’t Rush to a Decision…Keep your Options Open!

Ah! Options...we all love options...am I right? Why rush to a decision when you have the pleasure of choosing the best option at your own leisure? There's a lot of variables in this world... and because of that, anything can happen...therefore, it is wise to assume variability! Because of variability, the option that you have chosen too early and in haste (Point-Based approach) might not be the right one overtime, and too late or too much to adjust/change! Preserve your options (Set-Based approach)...let these play out...some will drop off overtime...and one will remain at the end: the one true option!…

Don’t Let Your Work Be a Queue from Hell!  Go Small !!!

Don’t Let Your Work Be a Queue from Hell! Go Small !!!

Have you ever found yourself in a long queue? Long checkout line at the grocery store... long queue to the bank teller... long queue to the Ticketmaster booth... just recently, first day of school this Monday, I have experienced a long queue !!! Here is another visual: have you ever flushed a toilet that was draining slowly ...that the flushed water rushes in and then backs up and eventually overflows (yuck!)? The rate of draining is slower than the rate of water rushing in...as a result, forming a "queue" of water (and waste) backing out to a point that it…
