My work is now pretty much focused on three specific improvement projects. The rest of my time is spent on clinical, teaching, and ITI work.
I'm trying to rationalise and strip back because these three projects are really important to the future of the business, my career, and my general future.
The difficulty with the projects is that none of them are likely to come to any significant fruition for perhaps 3 to 4 years, and I find that almost impossibly difficult.
I am the person who needs results now.
I have visualised these projects in my mind, and so now they're real, and they exist, but the next thing to do is allow everyone else to see them and then start to build the structures that will allow them to come true.
I won't see the results or any significant results for a while, and I will not reach the "It's alright for you, mate" moments for at least 4 to 5 years.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older that I get even more impatient to see things come true, but it feels like I'm running out of time like I'm falling behind. Everything that I see in the world pushes me to get instant results, when the thing about projects that last this long is that you can't, you won't, and you shouldn't.
Probably best that I remember that if you choose to take on huge scale projects that last 3 to 4 years, you're not going to get to the end for 3-4 years.
