The Negative Land of W

WishingI wish we had more time, more staff, more budget.

I wish I was still on holidays. I wish it was Friday.

WhiningI’m under too much pressure. People don’t realize how much effort this takes.

Wasting TimeThere’s plenty of time. It can wait... A coffee first.


Wanting to Achieve I want to improve. We can make this happen.

Willing to LearnI will learn new ways. We can benchmark against others. We can learn from this. Everyone can improve.

Working EffectivelyOur goals are clear. We’ll be efficient. I won’t procrastinate.
