...of the financial variety. And all of those slick planning activities begin to fall into pieces. To paraphrase: “A plan that if it were any smarter would write a book. And that book would make Ulysses look like it had been written in crayon. And then it would read it to you.” Snapping out of my fantasy world and into real life, what it essentially means is that this weekend is the 4th of July. I’m not sure there’s a direct connection.

Work stuff:
  • Pulling together rocks, strands, themes, frameworks to provide visors on the business.
  • Thinking about “high resolution” data (or rather re-thinking about it) and resetting my own standard for describing information.
  • Building out stakeholder and systems work.
  • Lots of end of year team comms meetings means ample time at the buffet.
  • Summer email clean-out, folder re-org, document re-org, notebook refresh. Bring it on.
Other stuff:
  • My apps are selling. More on that in another post.
  • Running the trail instead of the treadmill. Ouch.
  • Marvelling at LadyH’s household development capabilities using only tin foil, blue tack, rubber tubing and Sharpie pens.
  • Avoiding being English until the 5th July.
Next week: making sense of large crowds of people.
