Today & in recent years PBR is a popular acronym in the business world including I.T. (Information Technology) the industry I work in.
P-Plan, reduce time/cost associated with determining how to build what we've been tasked to build; e.g. physical vs virtual platforms, online vs nearline data storage, blah blah more i.t. speak
B-Build, increase throughput/capacity to deliver more builds; e.g. standard vs custom, pull vs push processes/methodologies, blah blah more flavor of the day speak
R-Run, reduce time/cost associated with keeping what we've built running; e.g. preventative vs predictive maintenance, system redundancies & availability, blah blah more captain obvious speak
This week I spent 3 hours at work immersed in PBR. During this time my mind wandered & began to ponder how PBR correlates to my health mission. Here is what I came up with...
P-Plan, Reduce my trigger-finger mindset to fire off excuses and increase my knowledge; learn best practices to lose weight & keep it off. In other words you can only do what you plan to do, don't leave success to chance or accident!
B-Build, Create a schedule & menu consisting of a variety of exercise & foods to build a healthier me. In other words create a healthy lifestyle to live!
R-Run, Consistently, one day at a time, Do what I know I am supposed to do; don't just want it, don't just plan it, DO IT! In other words maintain the plan which I have created changing the approach as needed to prevent slipping back into the days of excuses and complacency.
Hey, you deserve a PBR, now go get it!
Responsibility 199 - Gotta Do It!!
Sounds like a plan, Patrick. My husband works in IT too but I haven't heard him mention PBR.
ReplyDeleteIs'nt that the truth Patrick, actually executing the plan....I do like your plan for sure....the photo not so much...lol. have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteSomething's wrong with me, because this just seems like really deep thinking for so early in the AM! LOL! KUDOS to you for putting it together though, and I can't wait to continue to follow your success!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know, it really just that easy. Why do we get off course?
ReplyDeleteOK...am I some kind of hick because I immediately thought of Professional Bull Riding? Anyway, I love this acronym and how you're applying it to your weight loss efforts. Now...all you have to do is execute!
ReplyDeleteGreat Post P! I need to figure out what my PBR is. This is actually pretty deep. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Patrick!!! Plan & CONSISTENCY!!!! Throw in the exercise & a better food plan & VOILA!
ReplyDeleteAlthough, posting an old pic on the fridge & carrying with you to pull out when you waiver might help too. That pic made me think of that!
Keep up the great work!!!!
