Your Weekend is All Booked

That face Aaron Paul makes when Jesse Pinkman is speeding off toward whatever boundless life of freedom is in store? That moment of elation when you beat the game or finish the program or button up your project?

There is such satisfaction in completion. A re-ordered bookshelf. A neatened sock drawer. A successful DAMS launch.

I must have watched Mary Poppins too many times as a child.

Something about the endless desire to pop in and out of street drawings, tap dance with penguins, float to the ceiling from gut-belly-tears-of-joy laughter, and fix things with a bottomless bag of tricks. Gone are the days of forty year longevity, nannying away in the same household. I wouldn't be able to stand the thought of all the uncleaned chimneys--the messy rooms and audiences wanting for a tidying up. Those librarian tendencies need a change of scenery.

And it's that penchant for going where the winds take us, engaging organizations in continuous improvement through short-term projects, that brings fulfillment. It's not in the forever grind of prior generations. It's a new kind of dedication to letting go. There, in the discovery of your end users embracing organizational change, making their Digital Asset Management System their own, finding themselves at home in their taxonomy--that's when your nose starts to twitch and your Mary Poppins umbrella nudges you onward.

You survey the rooftops, eyeing your prospects. Your weekend is all booked--you fly a bit, recharge, breathe deep, catch up on your reading. You reflect. Evolve. Fly.
