The L in GOSPAL is my addition. It stands for Learning.
As I proceed though a project I must periodically, either daily or weekly, stop and evaluate my progress. If I thought that S3,O4 would only take 2 days but in reality it took 3 days I must look at the future actions and be willing to reduce the amount of time that they require in order to be done in 90 days.
Keeping to the 90 days keeps you focused and does not allow the schedule to slip. I am not saying that it is easy BUT it is easier than never getting done on time and being disappointed. I often like to squeeze in the middle instead at the end. Usually there is more flexibility there than at the end where I am trying to finish on time.
I believe that by doing a review of the project and trying to make sure you end on time your focus will not diminish. Blindly accepting that something took longer than expected is not good enough. Same thing could be said about not taking care of a daily action. You have lost momentum that you must get back. Re-focus and get back on track.
Today's question is:
"What are you learning while you are achieving your goal?"
