All learning paths Learn See Try Make When the work stops coming What this lesson is about Queues empty and projects end without notice. Plan for it before it happens, not during.
Friday comes and there is not one task left in your list, first time in five months. How do you read that?
A Take it as a sign your work slipped, and ask the buyer what went wrong. B Wait a week before doing anything, since the batches usually come back. C Empty queues are the normal shape of this market, not a judgement on you.
Check my recall Why this matters Batches end and projects close without notice. That is the ordinary shape of this market, not anything about you. What changes the next month is what was ready before it.
Write a plan for the week the work stops, and put it in place while the work is still on.
Batches end and projects close without notice. That is the ordinary shape of this market, not anything about you. What changes the next month is what was ready before it.
Empty queues are the normal shape of this market, not a judgement on you. Plan while the work is on: a second platform, a buffer, and a ready sample. In the first week, send the sample out before you change anything else. Task Your queue has been full for two months and three people you know were just cut.
Weak approach Takes twice as many tasks a day while the work lasts, and starts looking only after it stops.
Stronger approach Registers on a second platform this week. Keeps one finished sample ready. Puts a little aside from each payment. When the queue empties, the sample goes out on day one.
Why the stronger approach works Working twice as hard makes the drop steeper. The queue ends on the same day either way, and nothing was set up.
Try a changed situation The queue is full, the money is steady, and three people on the same platform were cut last week. What do you do this week?
Make something yourself Write your drought plan. Say what buffer you are building and which second place you are registered with. Name the sample you would send on day one.
