More than almost anything else, wasting time frustrates me. I think that's because I have a long to-do list and wasting time means that I lose time for activities that I want to engage in.
Good collaboration is a way to save time.
When we let each other know what's going on, what we need, and where we'll be, we leave little room for questioning and more room for good, coordinated work.
Obviously we can't always communicate what's going on for many reasons, but a simple, "Can't plan that now" or "I'll know better later" is a good way to let others know that you can't make a plan right now.
The worst kind of communication is often no communication. When you send out a note and no one answers, that's really frustrating and obstructs any good planning. Some hate long-term planning, and typically those are people who have others plan for them or those with few to no others to worry about. But when a lot of people rely on you, long-term planning is essential. Of course, you never really know what's going to happen in the future so that long term planning needs to be loose-tight and ready for change if need be.
Some people may think that others need for good communication is a need for control, but in my experience, that good communication is needed more in order to not waste time and to make the most of the time you have. Onward.
