I have been trying to fix at least 5 meetings a day in Singapore - 2 each for morning and afternoon sessions and one during lunch. The tricky part is that in order for all these meetings take a time slot each without overlapping or changing one to another slot, requires a bit of luck. I am lucky to have all meetings fix without changing any and the best thing is when the last meeting confirmation mail comes in, it proposes to fit the last spot that I have. I really cannot believe my eyes and share that happiness with the counterpart. She is happy for me too by saying "We hit a jackpot." Yup, we both hit a jackpot indeed.
This is a classic example as I just told my student intern to give her best and focus on what she needs to deliver, good results will be the most likely outcome. I told her this as she always worried about if she can do a good job on task assigned to her. Instead of wasting time to worry about whether can do a good job, we may as well focus on doing the work. How to do a good job? I always say :"Today's performance is yesterday's preparation." Therefore, constantly improve and prepare ourselves for the opportunity to come, is the best strategy.
When I started arranging for the 3 days meeting, I thought about the possible overlapping of meeting time slot taken by more than one party. However, I just focus on making the arrangement and put them into time slot one by one. The last one confirmed actually filled the last available spot that I have. It may be my lucky day but my proven that my philosophy is right, Just do it, like the Nike tagline.
