Limited time and lots to do

I have been reminded lately of my time limit. On the grand scale there is no worry about time; its just a concept. But when it comes down to us in our lives and our projects, there definitely is a limit. On a personal level, I am reminded of it as I watch my 99 year old mother-in-law age, while aches and pains and a recent wisdom tooth extraction remind me of my own aging.
Then there are project deadlines. There is so much to do, so many projects and the constancy of daily operations. Can we get it all in before the deadline? What will be postponed or put on the backburner until it becomes a fire?

kindness in project communications management

I was surprised to find that some colleagues were resistant to the use of the term "kindness" as a value along with truthfulness, clarity, completeness and others for communication in project management. Kindness is having the intention to benefit others, to be helpful and gentle. Kindness sets the stage for trust and openness which lead to more effective communications. Think about it, isn't it easier to communicate with people who are kind?
