Sustainability in Project Management

For a long time it was ignored, or only attributed to the "ecos", but by now it should be clear to everyone that it concerns us all: Sustainability
Sustainability is about striking a balance between environmental, social and economic aspects. It means meeting our needs without depleting resources for future generations or damaging the environment. We must all strive to use renewable resources, reduce emissions, minimize waste and act responsibly overall.

Time and resources should be saved in order to maximize customer benefits and also project success. An important principle here is continuous improvement.

I'm sure many of you are like me. I organize my daily routine with to-do lists. That way, no tasks get forgotten. Even the list of tasks that absolutely had to be done before the holidays is now checked off.
Recently, I came across a to-do list for students on the web that gave them tasks for the Christmas vacations. There I read things like.
- 🎬 Watch a Christmas movie.
- 📖 Read a good book
- 😁 Make someone laugh
- 🍪 Snack on delicious Christmas cookies
- 🍹 Sip some delicious punch
I immediately felt addressed, even though I'm not a kid anymore, this list is on my desk now and I plan to work through it over the holidays 😉
Time for me to flip up the keyboard and enjoy Christmas with my favorite people.
The whole ProjectWizards team wishes you a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and all the best for 2023.
