Just do it ...


There is an old tried and tested method of management called 'plan-do-check-act' also known as the Deming cycle after the grandaddy of quality control Edward Deming. Essentially it is a technique based on the scientific method of hypothesis, experiment, evaluate ... no surprises then that it is not necessarily the most helpful process to use when trying to live life more holistically. Small iterative thinking cycles of PDCA can leave you looking wistfully at the starting post, always in a state of preparation rather than participation.

After some consideration, reflection and discussion with a good friend about what to do with a life dilemma we came to the conclusion that the only real option was to JUST DO IT !!! Maybe Nike had a point with it's famous tag line after all.

So the way forward is to do stuff, have a go, be active, step onto the field of play as Mac would put it ... go for it.

Here I go!
