I have a friend at work who is a Marine. He tweeted something the other day that has stuck with me. Here’s the tweet:

@blamborn: Today I’m reminded of the 7 P’s I learned in the Marine Corps: Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.

Its amazingly simple and it got me to thinking about times when I had started things that never really turned out the way I had intended; this would have helped.

I know, I know, its common sense. Sometimes common sense is like the stack of cash in the safe. You know its there, but it doesn’t do any good unless you can get to it. That tweet the other day reminded me how to get to that knowledge. Lets hope I don’t forget how to get to it again.
