First, you make a plan.
Then you prepare to execute.
Then you take the action needed to progress.
It’s a fairly obvious sequence.
Ready … Aim … Fire
I’ve done things where I tried to move too fast.
Ready … Ai -FIRE! Fire again! FIIIIIRREE!
It didn’t end well.
I tried to learn from that.
Ready … Aim … OK, left a bit – now up a bit … yeah, I think that’s it … Fi – no, wait – I think it’s down a bit …
And so on. That didn’t get me very far, either.
Ready … Aim … Fire
Like so many things, it sounds simple – but simple isn’t always easy.
Whatever project you’re currently working on, remember:
You need all three stages.
They each need time, attention and care.
And they need to happen in the right order.
Planning. Preparation. Progress.
Ready. Aim. Fire.
