About finishing

Finishing a project is one of those rare moments when the world slows down a little bit. There’s that thrill of hitting the final Save, pressing Send, delivering the service to a well earned Thank You, waving them off and closing the door.

Your to-do list is shorter, your diary less full. You might even get a quite moment.

Problem is … there’s very often some after-the-party actions that make the difference between downing tools and finishing things off nicely. That push things over the actual can’t-be-disputed finish line rather than just somewhere in the vicinity. That in six weeks will tell you that you did a proper job.

Thank you notes, proof reading the release, recognising the learning and weaving it in, putting everything where it belongs, tie up loose threads.

Skippy strategy: Before you close the door, one final check – and deal with what you find.
