🤘Hey! Hey!🤘

We just launched the new Louder Than Ten site. Here's what's new, what's coming up, and a few nerdy details about how we did it: https://t.co/TkRULsBDB5

We're on "why you don't remember well" and "reasons not to rely on the past"

- recency effect and primacy effect will make you remember the beginning and the end and not the middle
- peak end rule will make you think positively about a whole experience, if the end was good

[DPM Edmonton @DPMEdmonton]

"There is no past, there is no future, there is only the present that matters."

Bold statement from St Augustine! Explanation - The past is your memory, and something you can do nothing about. The future hasn't happened yet, so the *present* is what you need to worry about.

[DPM Edmonton @DPMEdmonton]

Another technique to use with backcasting is pre-mortems - thinking about all the things that will prevent you from reaching your goal *at the start*. Giving you a chance to avoid things and mitigate for the that could go wrong

We just got a Brief History of Time and Back to the Future mentioned in the same sentence

Wednesday? That's today! We kick off the program at 6pm.

That's 20 mins to think of time-travel related puns, jokes and gifs. You all know what a TARDIS is, right?

[DPM Edmonton @DPMEdmonton]

Looking forward to seeing everyone at this Wednesday's meetup! Free food & drinks, @carsonpierce will be talking about "time travel for project planning," plus all your PM friends will be there. RSVP here: https://t.co/Z8lqRteHL3
