Full House
The workload has finally hit a point that we require vendors, so we have spent the week with a very full office. It's a drastically different environment... and to be honest, it is taking a lot of effort to adapt. There is a lot more chatter in the office due to more people... both personal chatter and work chatter. It is taking a lot of concentration to tune-out the noise.
There is also a lot more time spent explaining and confirming things. It has taken this transferring of work to make me realize how much I have kept in my head all these years. It's has been both stressful and stress-relieving to get these items out of my skull and into a written form. There are many "rules" that have been really impossible for me to explain... yet I have been following them for years.
The hardest thing that I have been getting my mind around is getting less done personally, but the business as a whole is getting a lot more done. I am so used to doing a bulk of the work myself... and having myself be the main limiting factor... that I am having trouble switching my mindset regarding project management. I suspect that I will see a continuing trend towards more meetings and management... and less hands-on work.
