Three Little Things

1 AM May 3, 2004

I have an index card pinned to my cubical wall. On it is a list that I wrote in the midst of a hectic project, back in 2002. The card reads:

  • We work faster if we do it our way.
  • We work faster if we don’t have things changing on us.
  • Must track and push back.

I find myself unable to throw this card out. It’s not that it expresses anything novel; nor is it well written.

I keep the card because it reminds me that, while I don’t have control over the whole project, I can and should have a say about my own area of expertise, and do it in a language that my manager and his customer understand.
