I had to restart
a project
after a month of working on it.
That was disappointing
yet it wasn’t super stressful
as I had built a buffer
of over a month
into my schedule.
I didn’t need that month
with the previous projects.
Nothing went horribly wrong.
But I knew
eventually
something would go wrong
and I’d need it.
That was certain
based on probabilities.
“A project with no buffers
is certain to be late.
Not just likely to be late,
but certain.
Better buffers
make better deadlines.”
Sh*t will go wrong.
Build buffers
into your projects.
