📨 SOLUTION GARDEN — PROJECT MANAGEMENT SIMPLIFIED
Practical strategies to help you lead projects with clarity, calm, and results.
🌿 QUICK WIN OF THE WEEK
Add one intentional pause to your week.
Before your next meeting, deliverable, or sprint kickoff, stop for 60 seconds and ask:
“What’s the real decision we’re making here?”
That one pause can prevent weeks of rework.
💬 REAL-WORLD SCENARIO
“We were moving fast… in the wrong direction.”
A team sent an update early, only to realize it solved a problem that no longer existed.
The fix wasn’t better tracking or more tools. It was a 10-minute pause to confirm priorities.
Sometimes leadership means asking the question everyone’s skipping.
🪞 MICRO-FRAMEWORK FOR BETTER DECISIONS
The 3 P’s of a Strategic Pause
- Purpose: Why are we doing this now?
- People: Who’s truly needed for this decision?
- Picture: What does success look like one week from today?
When you can answer all three clearly, you’re ready to move again.
