Assumptions, Good in Theory, Not Good in the Real World.

Assumptions, Good in Theory, Not Good in the Real World.

They drift you away from what’s actually happening.
They make you lose time.
They create problems you never needed to deal with.

Don’t assume, just ask, check, and follow up.
That’s how you truly save time.

Some domains simply can’t afford assumptions, for example, project management, engineering, healthcare, aviation, and finance. Even small assumptions can lead to major risks, errors, or delays.

And that brings us to communication.
Communication helps you check your assumptions early, instead of sitting and waiting for confirmation.

Don’t be afraid to communicate.
Worst case? You don’t get a reply.
Best case? You save time, avoid mistakes, and move forward with clarity.

Practice these two simple things:
  • Don’t assume
  • Communicate early and clearly

You’ll be surprised how quickly your personal effectiveness grows.
