Track the Tides not the Waves
You probably aren't thinking widely enough.
Hey friend
Welcome to 200 Word Tuesdays. Where we give you short, actionable ideas to implement in your project management. We promise that you haven’t heard these powerful ideas anywhere else.
Let’s get started.
We all have good days and bad days in our careers—ups and downs, setbacks, and moments when things go wrong or people upset us.
There are times when it feels like the hard work we’re putting in just isn’t paying off.
In those moments, it’s important to take a step back and ask yourself:
What is the larger trajectory of my career?
When you look at the big picture, are you making progress toward your goals?
This is what we mean by tracking the tides, not just the waves.
Waves come and go, but when you zoom out, you need to see whether you’re moving in the right direction overall.
So, take a moment today to reflect. Are you heading toward your goals? If the answer is yes, keep going.
