Stuff doesn’t ‘just happen’……………#pmot

stuff-happensDoes it drive you crazy when you hear people say ” It’s funny how stuff just happens” ?

I’ve got news for those people – nothing “just happens”………..well maybe evolution is an exception, and that takes millions of years to make noticeable change, so if we want to make stuff happen quickly how do we go about doing it. Here are some simple tips:-

  • Break a large task into smaller more manageable ‘chunks’
  • Arrange those ‘chunks’ into chronological order & do some in parallel.
  • Create a tracker.
  • Before asking people to do things make sure they’re resource is allocated.
  • Don’t just rely on email – talk.
  • If people won’t complete their allocated tasks on time – escalate.
  • Make sure they understand the importance of the task.
  • Most importantly – be persistent.

If you have some more tips on making stuff happen we’d like to hear them.
