[ Just In Time ]

Many of us are guilty, especially recently, of just-in-time preparation.  It must be a combination of growing role responsibilities, and the ‘times’ (being of frenetic information overload).  I’m pretty sure work used to be a bit more leisurely, a bit more ‘controlled’, a bit less frantic.  I remember being very prepared for meetings, having read the pre-work the day before or some such in advance.  I find now I’m doing the preparation just-in-time, just moments before the meeting starts (but at least I’m doing that!)

Unfortunately, doing things just in time is fraught with risk.  We need to slow down.
