Spare times for other things

There is a contingency, but you need to reserve some energy for subsequent task.

So, you woke up to pursue the goal of your team at the early hour of the day.

You have been dreaming of the experience and you’re busy checking your time to see its 7 ‘O’ clock – the setting out time.

You stood up as if it’s your life and soon, you got to the project site.


A valued member like you started the tasks on the project, expecting another team member to join you.

Soon you were notified of a call on your communication gadget.

It was your team member but you couldn’t pick it up. An attempt to return the call was not successful.

“Member B wanted to remind me of the task of today, you thought. He will join me.” You said.

Later the call came in again.

There is an emergency. That’s why I called the other time and I wanted you to attend to it.

No time for much details.

It is clear that something has to be done urgently but you took out some time to avoid taking rash decisions that will affect the system. However, you acted within the time frame the emergency will not degenerate.

It became very clear you need to outsource part of your work at some costs which you didn’t plan.

What a contingency there! It is a worthy decision but you need to reserve your energy for future project.


Thankfully, everything was successful.

You still have spare time to take your favorite drink.

Congratulations on your new managerial role.

That’s just a tip of what you should expect in your managerial role.
