\nHave you ever had a big project that felt like no matter how long or hard you worked you couldn\u2019t seem to get it done as quickly as you expected to?\u00a0 Every time you think you see some light at the end of the tunnel there is a dip or turn or obstruction and the glimmer of light fades away.\u00a0 It\u2019s a dark and lonely place, a place of low morale, frustration, burnout, hopelessness, and even despair.
\nIt\u2019s not uncommon to find ourselves in this predicament, in fact, I believe it is in our nature.\u00a0 We experience this on both short-term and long-term tasks.\u00a0 You may feel like this during moving, or pregnancy, or shoveling a mountain of snow in April, or with bays and a lot full of cars or on a remodel project or working on landing a big account or building and implementing something new at work.\u00a0 If you are a successful person, (and I know you are;\u00a0you are reading Reman U aren\u2019t you? 😉) you\u2019re likely ambitious, take on a lot, and heap pressure on yourself to keep driving forward and making things happen.\u00a0 Those great qualities that help separate you from the heap are also the ones that can put you in the dark tunnel.\u00a0 Few among us can charge ahead undeterred and unaffected along the journey.
\nGood news! The tunnel is not real and neither is the light.\u00a0 Oh man, you thought I meant you were actually digging a tunnel? It’s a metaphor.😉 When we take a step or back or reach task completion and gain some perspective, the pitfalls are easy to see.<\/p>\n
