Schedules mean different things to different people

Having worked in a number of jobs where the schedule means everything, milestones, deadlines, resources, inventory, etc, etc, etc. At the moment the schedule drives our workload, output and varies the perceived productivity. It's all bullshit and nonsense! That's schedule to a project. A schedule to me now means my itinerary for the next couple of years and work is the means to generate the funds to facilitate that.

I now have the ideas and the drive and will start the plan tomorrow. The first thing to do is to finalise the schedule, then the route, then the writing.
