No one can help you if they can’t see what you are doing.
I’ve felt frustrated that people won’s see how to help crate or complete a project in the way I want.
I’ve also felt frustrated when I’ve tried to help someone else and I am so unclear about what to do, or the scope of the work. I feel helpless, even though I have more than enough time and skill to support what they are doing.
If you are standing in a room full of stuff to be sorted, some to be packed, and some passed on and some to stay. Things are owned by different people.
How do you assist when when it’s not yours, you don’t know the needs required, if anything is sentimental, who owns what?
Everything seem equally important and equally unimportant.
How do you sort it?
Who can sort it?
Really the only the person who can is the owner of the stuff. They also are the owner of the end result. They the only one with the information, and the one who can set the parameters.
What if they don’t know how to set the targets, or are not good at it, or don’t care that much?
Perhaps the way forward is to create a system, some criteria.
You really can’t hit a target that you can’t see.
Some people see to have a self judgment that is not easily articulated. They sense when their objective it met, or close enough when they are tired or out of time, or out of space or they just sense it in their bones.
That’s fine for them. I can’t figure out how to work with the yet. I just end up watching and waiting to see a patten.
I fall into assistant mode, simple because I can alway see a way to support their project when i can’t see the direction. I find it hard to throw in my own ideas and direction without some edges.
I am musing on;
How do I present my idea more clearly?
How do I just do and try to mix in with the flow
How do I let go of the fear of being wrong and just try somethings?
What are easy ways to define a target.
