Get er done.

At a team meeting last Thursday, the Director of IT said, 'Blah, blah, blah....That's why when you say you can do ten reports, I say, "make it 15". It encourages you to extend you abilities, it gives you something to strive for.'

Right. And this is why when we think we can do 10, we say we can do 5.

Our Director is famous for saying things can be done much quicker than they actually end up taking. He once said it should only take a day or 2 to write any report. The 20 odd reports we have in our project have been worked on, off and on, over the past 2 years.
