Pace is the trick

Our work is flowing in and out at a really nice pace this week.  I love weeks like this and I realise that it is a great benchmark for how to schedule work in the future; we know what needs to be done and how long we have to do it.  It feels like this week could well be the holy grail of work scheduling.  We've been really busy without rushing or feeling stressed.  I have noticed that we have both been more productive in the absence of stress and pressure.  My problem is how to reproduce it next week.

We're taking on another trainee next week for a couple of days a week.  James' role is becoming too important for him to simply be the office monkey and I feel that it is imperative for him to start focussing more on production and delivery.  So the office monkey baton will be passed to Ronnie for two days a week from next Tuesday.  Hopefully he will play an integral role in helping us flow through our work.

Growing a business is a slow process sometimes and it can be really tough, but it's always fun.
