Double Check To Do List
Missed an important interview this morning because i was sure in my mind that it was at 2.45 in the afternoon even though its written in my diary in big black pen 9.40 am . I had already planned my entire day around 2.45pm and was busy with some chores before setting off, when a glance at the pad gave me the realisation that the meeting was already 2 hours ago. Had i double checked the night before then i would have been aware of this and planed my day around the 9.40am meeting. Now another time waster is the reschedule of the appointment. The searching for the number to contact the person. The possibility of loss of earnings and reputation. The whole stress and annoyance that i would let a meeting be confused and not plan well in advance. Now i got my day on catch up and damage limitation due to a blunder that would have been easily avoided had i done a quick double check. Fail to Prepare = Prepare to Fail ! BeWiseMonkey
