Hello all,
This week's focus is on planning for the future.
I've been wrestling with a timeline for a work project...which tasks to place on it, how much detail to include, whether to use a circle or a straight line, whether to put psychosocial milestones on as well as concrete operational milestones, who should see and add items...you get the drift. It's been intimidating. I know that my job involves carefully planning out short-term and long-term actions that will lead my project/college to the ideal future state. I also know that there will be many shifts and changes along the path that will force adjustments.
So I've been stuck. And I know that looking into the future to anticipate and plan out the changes you need to make can be intimidating, immobilizing even if that future looks bleak to some team members. Change is hard!
I did some research into easy reads for possible ways to address these feelings (I am a librarian!) and I'm sharing it with all of you in case you ever need it.
- How to Create Progress When You Feel Stuck - "A micro win is the first Lego brick towards the completed creation."
- What You Can Do When A Project Is Stuck? - "Divide your project into small tasks."
- Meet Anticipatory Anxiety, The Reason You Worry About Things That Haven’t Happened Yet - "Try to redirect your energy toward the present moment instead."
- University Strategy in an Age of Uncertainty - "First, the language of probability needs to become the currency of strategic planning."
All the best,
Holly
