Timing is everything. Last week my wife Suzannah and I were rushing to the airport, just ahead of a massive blizzard. As we hailed a cab, huge snowflakes were falling upon us. The weather folks were all predicting at least 5-8 inches of snow here in NYC, and perhaps two feet of snow inland and further north. Earlier I had heard them warn “Over 1800 flights have already been cancelled…” and that we should “Avoid all unnecessary travel.” I wondered if our planned trip to South Africa was “necessary.” This was a real reward for us for selling our shipping store to give EZTrackIt package tracking software our full attention, so I decided that it was.
“The brunt of the blizzard will be hitting this afternoon and lasting well into tomorrow. With white out conditions expected, travel will be almost impossible…” I heard from the radio in the taxi.
It is a really good thing that our flight left at 10am that day. Had we taken the flight just one day later, as we originally planned, we might not have gotten off the ground at all. This is one of those moments that timing worked in our favor. Whereas the fact that we did not activate Microsoft Office before leaving our home is bad timing. Now I couldn’t use it on our 15 hour flight. Ugh.
There are hundreds of thousands of things that you can’t control or forecast accurately. This is particularly true in both business and technology. Sometimes you have great timing or luck and sometimes you don’t, but there are plenty of things that you can do to improve your odds.
Take package logging for example. If you have really, really great luck and perfect timing, you may not ever need to worry about losing a package. Most of us don’t have that kind of good fortune though and those of us that do usually reserve that luck for Las Vegas. You never know which package will have a problem, so you will have to log them all I am afraid.
Here is the good bit of news, EZTrackIt package logging softwareis the perfect way to log your packages 4-10 times faster than by hand. What is even better news is that the pricing model for our package tracking software is tailored to the size of your organization. EZTrackIt will fit your budget easily. Best of all, you have picked the best day to get your mailroom organized with package logging software. You can procrastinate tomorrow.
