Less thinking might be helpful, at times.

Habits can be very powerful. The wrong habit can cause a lot of harm. But a good habit can help us do the right thing without even thinking about it. Doing something every morning, right after getting up, can help a lot to compound something to be happy about the rest of the day.

One could choose to do workouts in the morning, as there might be many excuses later the day. The habit of doing it every day, the same way, is what saves us. No need to think about it, it’s quite the opposite. If one think, there might be great reasons to not do it. Just stick to a habit, and it’s done and it’s going to be a great day.

When doing the right thing is still wrong

It is easy and tempting to do something, be active. Especially when you we can do something that is obviously right. But it can be still wrong, sometimes even terribly wrong. Putting water on a fire seems to be the right solution, but if it is burning fat, then it becomes very evident.

Whatever we do, first we need to understand why we need to act. Then find the right course of action. Verify the problem before you build the product. First principle thinking.

Stop call it a project

The term “project” is commonly used in the business world and has become a buzzword in recent years. However, the word “project” has lost its meaning and significance due to its overuse. It is now used for anything and everything that involves a team working together to achieve a goal.

This overuse of the term “project” has led to a lack of clarity and understanding of what a project truly is. Teams often confuse a project with routine tasks or ongoing operations, which can lead to ineffective project management and poor outcomes.

A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. Projects are characterized by a specific objective, a defined timeline, and a set of resources allocated to achieve the objective.

On the other hand, a process is a set of activities that are performed in a specific sequence to achieve a particular outcome. Processes are ongoing and repetitive, and they are designed to produce consistent and predictable results.

It is important to differentiate between projects and processes to ensure that the right approach is taken to accomplish a specific objective. Projects are typically initiated to create something new or to improve an existing product or service. They have a defined start and end point, with specific goals and objectives to be achieved within a set timeframe. Processes, on the other hand, are ongoing and are designed to produce consistent and predictable results. They are typically used to create or maintain products and services that are already in place.

To address the issue of overusing the word “project,” it is important to use appropriate language to describe what we are working on. Avoid using the term “project” when it is not an accurate description of the work being done. For example, if a team is working on a new product launch, it is not a project but rather a product development initiative. Similarly, if a team is implementing a new software system, it is not a project but rather a system upgrade initiative.

By using descriptive language instead of the generic term “project,” we can better define the scope, objectives, and deliverables of our initiatives. This will lead to clearer communication, more effective project management, and better outcomes.

In conclusion, we need to stop using the term “project” for everything and start using more appropriate language to describe our initiatives. This will help us to better define our goals, manage our projects effectively, and achieve better outcomes. By understanding the difference between projects and processes, we can ensure that the right approach is taken to accomplish a specific objective.
