You Pick Yourself Up Dust Yourself Off and Start All Over Again

dancing by volcanoBack in the early 1930s, when America was going through some hard times, Ginger Rodgers and Fred Astaire danced their way into American hearts by offer these words of encouragement—"Selection yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over once again"—in the movie Swing Time.  And America responded.

In 1980, I was living in Oregon when Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18th. We were miles away and withal we could hear it and see the darkening sky. Later on we literally had to "grit ourselves off." Everyone in the neighborhood had a bandana or scarf wrapped around the lower portion of their face up and was using shovels and brooms to clear volcanic ash from the rooftops. The ash was so heavy and thick that rooftops were caving in.

Once the rooftops were cleared, we had to "start all over again." What do you lot do with a pile of volcanic ash sitting in the eye of your driveway?

Commencement things start: Clean out 3 jelly jars (one for each of the kids), label them and fill them with ash. I guess if nosotros'd been more than entrepreneurial nosotros could have filled all the jars we could find for futurity sales, but with ash still falling and every driveway in the neighborhood blocked with a large pile of ash, no 1 was thinking about starting a souvenir business organisation.

Since we had just purchased a basketball pole and hoop a few days earlier and it needed some weight for stability, nosotros poured some of the ash down the pole and filled it virtually halfway up. At present I wonder what the next owners did when they took down that pole.

With a big pile of ash that even so needed a solution, we started looking for one. City and canton services had already alerted residents that ash removal was not included in the weekly garbage drove. Besides, if y'all filled even one-half of your trashcan with ash it became too heavy to move, let alone pick upwards and dump in the garbage truck. So creating our ain landfill was the only solution. We dug upwards the flower beds along the back fence, built a retaining wall, and created raised flower beds. Ash, similar sand, is good for draining water from top layers of earth to the deeper layers.

All summer, we dealt with ash. Dust masks were the norm at the kids baseball game and soccer games and practices. Every fourth dimension someone ran for a ball, a dust cloud followed. Just afterward the winter, with a new Leap, up came the new flowers.

Spring is always a good time to "choice yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again." It's the time of the yr when the days get longer and your energy level begins to summit. It's fourth dimension to prepare that door that simply won't latch, pump air into the child'due south bikes, open up the windows and doors and make everything fresh again.

It's also a good time to evaluate how you are managing your projects. Are you using the right software to simplify your tasks and solve some of those problems that keep cropping up? Are you still putting off looking for a better, more than comprehensive solution? And if y'all are happy with your software, are there improvements you've been meaning to make for months merely never seem to get to? Are there ways to clean up your processes or data?

At that place is always room for improvement. For case, within our own Spitfire Projection Management Organisation, clients might decide to ready templates to match changes fabricated by the legal department, or to create a detailed report to hold data currently on two different reports. Or maybe they might spend a lilliputian time automating more than workflows.

If you already use the Spitfire Project Management Organization, we encourage y'all to contact Back up for help in sprucing up your system. If y'all don't already use Spitfire, yous may want to kickoff with our gratis demo.
