We overdid things at the beginning of the year. We went into it intentionally, but being intentional doesn’t make things less hard.
We had two clients starting, one client scaling up significantly, and another client who restarted work with us. Plus, we were going through the hiring process to handle all the work.
If I had to do it all over again, I’d probably make the same decision. Sometimes it’s ok to take what’s presenting and try to make it all happen.

We had previously decided that no one gets “assigned” to a Project. Everyone is asked for consent to become part of a project. I screwed this up at my first opportunity.
Operating on a consent basis isn’t difficult, but it’s completely new for all of us. It takes time to retrain our brains into a new way of working. I apologized and tried to articulate how the process should have worked – asking if April consented to join another project.
