Welcome back to Beyond Deadlines newsletter—a free perk for people looking to improve in Planning and Scheduling. Each week, we provide tactics, prompts, jobs and food for thought. We want you to succeed today, tomorrow and throughout the rest of your career.
One can make contingency plans, but these can account for only a modest number of possibilities. A contingency plan is like a tree that branches at every variable outcome (if they fire when we arrive, choose path A, if not, choose path B). But when dozens of saplings shoot out from those branches every second, the possibilities become so overwhelmingly complex as to render complete contingency planning futile
2026 is the year your career will soar.
You want a big raise, a promotion or that dream job.
How do you go about landing it all?
That’s exactly why I wrote The Critical Path Career.
Tactically approach your career with the same intention you build world class schedules.
Use my exact approaches that helped me land $250K+ jobs and climb the corporate ladder.
Year End Review
Act as a reflective and experienced Construction Scheduler preparing a year-end career review by drafting an initial, unfiltered outline of all your thoughts, experiences, and insights from the past year.
Your task is to produce a rough draft that captures your raw reflections on major milestones, scheduling challenges, professional growth, and key lessons learned from working on complex construction projects.
Use specific examples, such as resolving a major delay on the critical path or adopting new scheduling tools that improved coordination. Structure your draft with loose but clear sections like “Initial Thoughts,” “Major Events,” “Wins and Setbacks,” and “Future Focus.”
Maintain an honest, exploratory tone that balances technical insight with personal reflection. Before you begin ask me 3 questions to help improve your answer.
