Live in parcels

Everybody has a natural time frame – the period that they’re most comfortable working with. 

For some, action oriented, living in the moment, it’s a day or five, we get frustrated with meetings and planning and wonder why we can’t just get on with it. (What’s the it in that sentence? The subject of the last conversation they had.)

Others live in parcels of weeks or months (maybe they got fixed thinking of a term or a semester at a time). They’re happy working on the next big thing, as long as the next big thing can be chunked into hundred day efforts.

Very few work with longer timeframes even as they get things done. Building action after action to achieve a desired long-term change they can see in their head.

The trick is knowing who you’re talking to.

Skippy strategy: Brief in the time frame they’re used to.
