The importance of planning

| writing | poetry |

update 6/3/2024: no idea what this is, again I swear I was not doing drugs when I wrote this.

Smiley faces all around and a big round of applause for the round rough dolly Polly lesbians putting make up on in the corner.

Will this be the night that fruit flies cover the strawberries or the night that the ants crawl all over the bananas. Only time will tell my friends.

But I do know this, if that very same person were to come up to me today and aak me similar questions about the importance of planning. I would only reply with one simple phrase.

Take all of your belongings and throw them out of a window into the sea of life. Set yourself free from subscriptions and feeds. Eat and drink the waters of life upside down in a dog cage and only then will you truly understand the importance of proper planning.

Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

Generated and suppressed demand.

Eight years ago, I wrote about my theory of restoring struggling teams, which came down to four steps: A team is falling behind if each week their backlog is longer than the week before. Solve by hiring more. A team is treading water if they’re able to get...
