Fans of planning and organization believe that, with hard work, we can overcome almost anything. There’s a lot of truth in that idea, but you have to know your limits. If you skip lunch, you might be able to crank out a superhuman amount of work and get a project done ahead of schedule. But if you’re the type who gets exceptionally cranky on an empty stomach, do you really want to come home from work and start losing patience with those that mean the most to you? Rather than trying to power through your weaknesses, plan your projects so you avoid those pitfalls and set yourself up for success.
