Rescheduling and thrashing

Rescheduling and thrashing are both different words. But they are connected and dependent. One won’t (mustn’t) survive without the other. This was best described by Seth in his masterpiece Linchpin. It make sense when both are studied which levels the confusion of delayed shipping. Shipping isn’t confined to products and services, but it extends to anything. To think shipping as doing as per the schedule makes it more easy to grasp. Even the subtle things that hide along the appears to be meaningful.

   Thrashing is nothing but excuses due to fear that delays shipping. And rescheduling is a by-product of thrashing. Thrashing occurs at everything and every time. Mostly due to the weak resistance, we are nullified about this. At times when resistance peaks, we consciously prefer to stay the same. We can’t relate the circumstances happened at the start and happening at the end. The usual cliché “ it happens each time” is the best explanation the resistance wants us to believe. But there is a paradox. It doesn’t happens every time (although is does), we let it happen. Our team let it happen. And the result, delayed shipping with the same product. Delayed action with the same decision. But thrashing is good at times. It moves us to fix the defects and subtle errors if only done at the beginning. It will not lead to a reschedule. But no one likes to thrash at the initial stages. We hate when contrary suggestions arise in the early stage. It is utterly improper to hear except the fact that it keeps rescheduling at bay. And for the worst, it never happens at the beginning. But at the moment when you think you are ready to ship, ready to speak in public, ready to go bike ride, thrashing shows up. It may hit us in any form. May be through a little tiny thought. The goal of thrashing is to reschedule or to trash totally.
