I caught the company bus today and I was well on my way to a meeting when I suddenly realized that it was raining outside. Even though it is a rainy season in Mumbai, we experienced little rain in the last few days; So I forgot to take an umbrella.
This set me thinking-If only I had checked on what resources I needed before I left for the day, I would not be without an umbrella.
Many of us jump at an activity or a journey without thinking through the resources we need to accomplish the activity or get through a journey.
It is not enough to set goals or define tasks, It is also important to define the resources we need to accomplish that goal or to do that task.
Goals can be achieved through action and if we need to act, we will need the resources that enables the action to be executed.
You need to do the following:
Have a resource pause and ask your self the following question:
What resources do I need?
This one question can save you a lot of time and trouble.
Try it out.

MJ - Great post. Often times we don't consider all the resources we will need before embarking on a project. Great reminders!
Yes, you are right... most of us fail to consider the fact. such kind of thinking is required in this busy life. Time once gone is gone for ever. You have made a valuable point here. Good job..
