Original Advice
“DO: State deadlines and desired outcomes explicitly.”
Announce the Finish Line First
People don’t trust speed; they trust clarity. Your quick starts look like flinches when you avoid specifics. Vague plans waste other people’s time and burn your own fuel. Stop performing capability; define it. Name the deliverable. Stamp a date on it. Put the target on the wall where everyone can see it. You don’t lose freedom by committing; you gain credibility.
Trust is math, not vibes. A clear outcome plus a date equals proof you are safe to run with. Boundaries don’t slow you down; they give your fire a corridor. When you define “done,” people gather behind you instead of bracing. State the brief. Set the checkpoint. Put your promise where time can test it. Then deliver early once, and watch doors unlock.
