Optiservation
Optimism + Observation = Optiservation
It is the point of a project where you take a step back, look at all the progress you’ve made, acknowledge the lessons learned, appreciate the hurdles overcome, and strategize for the next steps.
It is a critical practice of mine. It is undeniable that I remain a forever optimist, but I’d like to think that I challenge that with practical observations. While I will also wish and work towards the positive, that just isn’t reality. Often because most factors are not in my control.
What I like about optiservation is this pause to soak in the success but analyze the actionable, reasonable, tasks that require attention. Reward the hard work, but remind yourself you are not done yet. You have a ways to go on the journey of continuous improvement. The moment I have nothing left to learn and improve on I’m six feet under.
