How to get back on track

You don’t know this about me but I was 14 years old and won 2nd place in the regional Chess competition along with 3rd place in the state and 8th place in nationals (that’s 8th in 100 competitors). What I learned (beside that I am awesome) was that everything in life if a chess game and should be treated as such. Along the way I learned project managing and learned that everything in life requires management and a manager for it. So combining those concepts you get that everything in life needs to be managed with grace, foresight, risk and timing. Below is what my Thesis was for my BS called “Playing the Game Called Management” Got an “A” by the way and inducted into the tech honors society. But that’s another story.

There are things we need to establish to try to fix things. One was recognizing the causes of which we already mentioned in the email. In chess that’s viewing the board and the player the environment all causes to the end games all potentially harmful and none of it on your side.
This is handled in PM by openly set the goals and make sure that they are understood. In chess that is to yourself in PM that is to the group. This would not be to re-write the project by this date. That’s not a goal, that’s a want/need. It means to lay out what are the real goals for each party (to look good, make money, do the job and go home, do a good job, learn etc.). This is kind of dirty but so is detoxing after a bad drug habit but it is needed to recover. In chess I attempt to figure out what my opponents no so obvious goals are (this is besides winning) like who /why/what is he playing for. What motivates him? (see where this is going) By doing this you learn motivation and this allows you to work those motivations and in essence make them work for you.
