1. Shortest way is not always the fastest
Every time you plan a route in front of us gets the choice of an optimum way. And experienced travelers know very well that a short line on the map does not mean that you will get to your chosen destination. Sometimes it is better to go on longer, but actually an easier and faster way than to climb somewhere on the rocks, trying to go straight.
What does it mean? When planning your day you should not focus only on order. We must try and calculate how to achieve them. If several of these pathways, we must at least roughly calculate their complexity and the time required, and only then decide.
2. Despite the sun, whether it is always ready to rain
you can not trust forecasts. Believe the sun and clear sky - even more so. Because in that moment, when you relax and leave the cloak home gush most severe downpour. It is when all the planet's weather service will be broadcast on a cloudless sky, you can not stick his nose out of the tent because of the terrible weather. Therefore, we must always be prepared for any eventuality, even if nothing until bode ill.
What does it mean? In drawing up the plans and task lists on paper are often everything goes smoothly, but when reality intervenes, all the plans are flying downhill. Therefore, you must always be prepared that the "something goes wrong", and try to provide it in his schedule. And the role of the umbrella in this case will play extra time for you, which you select in reserve in case of any emergencies.
3. Do not underestimate the mountains
Every tourist has ever seen on the trails of strange subjects, who were trying to conquer the summit in shales or shoes on heels, thirsty, without bothering about the water reserve, or sunburn due to the holiday wishes "Tan". Their appearance is usually pathetic, and the fate - the alarm. The main mistake of people is that they went to the mountains as if to walk in the park, not bothering to even the essentials. Never underestimate the difficulty of the route, as this can lead to very dire consequences.
What does it mean? Before working on any project it is always better to take the time to evaluate it. It is important to take into account their experience on similar tasks, reliability and competence of the team members, goals and demands made by the customer or management.
4. Calculate the forces
Seasoned travelers are well aware that the first comes to the goal is not the one who is the fastest start. If you have a long jump or climb, it is important to properly distribute the forces on all parts of the path, and not to break from fatigue after the first kilometer. It is important to persistence, persistence and compliance with the schedule, then even the most difficult path will be overcome without any problems.
What does it mean? Develop the best for himself schedule of work and rest and consistently abide by it. For example, I like the technique PomodoroWhich allows you to evenly distribute the load during the day and take a little pause for rest. Incidentally, the open secret that we are preparing more publications on the subject, from which I hope you can gain a lot of useful information.
5. Do not see all the time on the top - look at his feet
Each time, standing at the foot of the mountain and looking at the distant snow-capped peaks, feel the same feeling: "No, there is absolutely impossible to climb. It's too high, I probably will not work. " But then, step by step, slowly and slowly, the tip is approaching, and the goal will not seem so inaccessible. The main thing - do not look up constantly checking how much is still left, and calmly go forward.
What does it mean? If course, planning your life you need to remember global viewBut do not get too focused on them at any given time. Far better would be to break them down into smaller tasks, steps, to be performed by you in a calm pace and without undue stress.
6. Pick up the correct gear
No worse issues in the campaign than bad, uncomfortable, unsuitable shoes. Corns, abrasions, injuries and other troubles completely rob you of your joy and pleasure, and may not give to reach the end of the route. The same applies to the backpack, which can break off at the most inopportune moment, tents, which suddenly begins to flow, and all the other things that you take with you. So never take the time to thoroughly check everything and correct, if necessary, any problems found.
What does it mean? No matter how wonderful or were our intentions, and however hard we may have made to achieve them, sometimes everything depends on strong shoes. So, try to surround yourself with the best, comfortable, modern toolsThat will not hinder, but rather to help you achieve the goals.
And some useful observations carried you on his travels?
