deeper, not faster - silver lining #12

Flying over the treetops provides you with an overview of the area and a grand perspective, but not an intricate comprehension of a forest’s ecosystem and its needs. 

In light of all the terrible repercussions of this worldwide virus pandemic, you might be getting tired of the many silver linings.  But since we already read enough bad press in the press, we may as well keep contemplating the other side of the coin here in this blog.

My husband noted that pre-pandemic he was out visiting customers and jobsites so much that it was difficult to process all the data that came in while he was out, in a meaningful way.  He was usually either up very early in the morning, or went back to his desk after dinner to catch up and handle what came in during the day.  Now that he has been home office bound for five weeks and is all caught up, he is able to engage with incoming data, our customers, our projects, and future business opportunities in a much deeper, more meaningful, and ultimately in a more sustainable way.  The pandemic slowdown will likely influence how we do business post-pandemic.  It’s better for our customers, it’s better for us.

Same old same old is exactly what we don’t need after we’re through with this.
