HOARY PLANNING APHORISMS  WORDS TO LIVE BY



Don't worry, be happy  


This too shall pass


Life has its ups and downs


It will get better


Think positive


Don't make mountains out of mole hills


Dive right in


Just do it


Take bite size projects, and finish them


Make a decision, and stick with it


Excuses are like belly buttons, everyone has one


Keep plugging away


Get it done


Stuff happens


Don't sweat the small stuff


Criticism, like sewage, runs down hill


When in danger, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout


The 7 P's of planning - Preliminary prior planning prevents pitiful poor performance


Planning, like life, has its ups and downs


It will get better/It's got to get better/I hope it gets better


Don't make mountains out of mole hills


Publish or perish


What good does getting depressed do?  


The longest journey starts with a single step 


Keep plugging away


Muddle through


Take bite size projects, and finish them


Make a decision, and stick with it


Avoid extra assignments


Excuses are like belly buttons, everyone has one


Stuff Happens


Don't sweat the small stuff


Let criticism roll off your back


Do what your boss tells you unless it is illegal or immoral


Criticism, like sewage, runs down hill


Keep off the sky line


Be firm, fair, friendly


Stop me, before I plan again
