Do you do any planning or thinking when you are in your garden?
After a crazy summer schedule, I found ragweed / golden rod weeds taking over my garden. Well that is not good since I am allergic to ragweed! Not good at all!
I blocked time to get rid of the ragweed.
step 1 - decision to pull out the ragweed and not just chop it off (Do the project correctly the first time and do not have to worry about having to redo it.)
step 2 - try pulling it out to no avail.....the roots are too strong
step 3 - review the strategy - new strategy - water the ground and see if it makes it easier to pull the weed
step 4 - try again......some of the weeds came out with this new strategy
step 5 - review the strategy - new strategy - try digging down to break the roots before pulling them out
step 6 - wow - it worked - the rest of the weed came out
When working on a business project, try a strategy but evaluate the strategy before repeating it.
Did it work? Was it effective and efficient use of time, energy and tools?
Consider other strategies to reach your project goal. Learn from my gardening experience that some of the best results come from changing strategies during a project.
