Faster

My coworking space is just next to Euston Station in London and the HS2 project is about to start. The project is to cut journey times to Birmingham and Manchester by train.

Has anyone stopped to question, like say bigger, is faster any better?

Why is faster better? Says who?

But before committing £Billions, perhaps it’s a question often overlooked by the stakeholders who stand to financially gain.

Is a faster journey enough of a benefit, even if it’s agreed that faster is better.

Funny what we are told to convince us that this better than say better healthcare.

The most challenging environment to blog in?


Well, I’m not sure my environment today counts as the most challenging, but it has been trying!

I’m currently returning from holiday on an EasyJet flight and I’m surrounded by young kids, including in the seat right next to me and 3 hours in and the kids have reached the ‘are we there yet?’ stage.

When I land, I’m heading home to shower, change bags, pickup up some work stuff and heading straight back to the airport to head to Berlin to co-facilitate a workshop.

So now is the only time to write on a noisy plane, at 35,000 feet and on my iPhone.

Ok, so typing hanging one handed from a cliff in a gale might be harder.

The point is if you set your mind to it you can work in distracting places and if you use your time wisely you can always get stuff done.
