New Approaches

We are in the midst of learning a variety of different approaches to solving old problems, primarily because we don’t have all the tools available to us before AND because these tools are being redirected towards other needs. If you find yourself in this scenario, realize that the approach you come up with today, might be better than what you were doing before you just weren’t able to realize it before. The struggle now is to bridge the divide between what you were doing before and what you are doing now and that is where we are struggling. We want

Hit Refresh

Like many things going on these days, there is nothing I would prefer more than to Hit Refresh and get back to what we were all doing.

Find your Schedule

For the past few weeks, many of have been working from home, trying to find that new rhythm that will put us back into that ever present flow that will let us succeed where we once did so easily. But that flow isn’t going to come as easy as we think. There are new hurdles to overcome, new obstacles, new co-workers who we now share everything with from internet to space to lunches. You can’t continue from where you once were but you can establish something new and that something new starts with establishing a schedule. A plan, a list
