Allow me to add URGENCY for no good reason, it actually hit me once I saw it articulated on the 37 Signals blog . . . last big project I worked on, my goodness, I had the WORST neurotic and paranoid (I really do think she uses drugs) suit woman from hell as a project manager, no clue, all urgency, I would say "don't do this" or "do that" and she would do the opposite, thereby starting fires that I had to put out IMMEDIATELY of course, it was one thing after another, seldom did I ever get to complete a task before having 3 more hurled at me ALL URGENT it was nuts! After almost a year of that, I felt burned out for like 3 months. Has anyone had similar experiences? This woman was crazy, she would call me on the phone 7-8 times a day, ask 90 questions one after the other (not letting me completely answer a single one before moving on to the next one of course) write me like 15-20 emails (more questions, or urgent requests) . . . she eventually ran the small company into the ground, totally crashed and burned, it was amazing, at least I made some money, but my goodness, it was insane. And underneath everything I think the most damaging thing was indeed the urgency.
