In spite of the fact that everybody seems in a hurry to reach a destination, they often end up forgetting where they are going. Imagine an individual who starts driving with the firm intention of arriving at a certain place as soon as possible. He is looking forward to reaching his (or her) objective, is full of enthusiasm and good will. He doesn’t want to waste time. Then, while driving, he sees a lovely green spot near a creek, so he decides to stop and get some fresh air (“It’s hot today”, he says), eventually lying down and taking a nap. “I have still plenty of time”, he says. Later, he resumes his driving and goes on a for a while, till he sees a motorway café and decides to stop again and have a cup of coffee. “It will make me more alert”, he says. Lunch follows, the news on TV, a chat with another patron. The arrival at destination gets further and further. “I’ll resume my trip tomorrow”, he says, deciding to stay overnight. The “motorway” of success is also strewn with alluring parking places. Do you have the above attitude when you start a new project? Enthusiasm at first, then slowdown, finally inertia?
