Nah... forget that. To make a real pig's ear out of things, you don't have to 'do' something, you have to forget to, or ignore doing, things. Miss out on deadlines, fail to acquire necessary information, fail to complete a piece of work, lose touch with good people... yeah, that'll usually do the trick!!
Everyone knows its easier to stay on top of things than dig yourself out from under a mountain of rubbish. Everyone knows its easier to be on a roll than to pick yourself up after a great fall. We all know how it went with Humpty Dumpty... all the king's horses and all the kings men... uh huh! BAD times.... SAD times...
but did anyone ever tell you what to do to get out of a mess?? Cos sure as hell no one told me. They just told me not to get in to a mess in the first place. Helpful... reeeal helpful. Actually it would have been, if I'd taken the advice ;) but in any case I always thought if I found myself in a bad situation, I would be able to figure out the solution. Cos you know, I'm a good problem solver. I can look at a situation objectively, analyse it, etc. What happens when you lose the one skill you always relied on?
The answer is simple. To find someone else with that skill. But I still have a problem. I often find it difficult to ask for help. Not for everything. Somethings I don't mind asking. But some things seem like... like maybe I'm asking too much. So I hold back.
