Addressing quick and easy tasks immediately can be an effective time management strategy. This approach aligns with the concept of “time management” as outlined in the PMBOK Guide, which involves planning and organizing to use one’s time efficiently and effectively. By tackling simple tasks right away, one can prevent them from accumulating and becoming a larger burden, thus managing one’s time more effectively. This method is akin to the “Eat that frog” technique, which suggests completing the most impactful tasks first to improve productivity and time management.

  In the context of optimism, the "ABCDE" model is a cognitive-behavioral approach that stands for Adversity, Beliefs, Consequences, Disputation, and Energization. "Adversity" refers to the challenging event or situation encountered. "Energization" represents the outcome of successfully disputing negative beliefs about the adversity, leading to a renewed sense of energy, empowerment, and a positive shift in feelings and actions. This model is used to illustrate how changing one's interpretation of adverse events can lead to more optimistic and constructive outcomes.

Crisis management in project management involves identifying potential risks and developing strategies to prevent crises. While execution, team selection, and communication (like memorizing phone numbers) are important, prevention is key to avoiding the crisis altogether. References: PMBOK® Guide and other PPM study materials generally emphasize the importance of prevention in crisis management.

For a detailed understanding, please refer to the official PPM study materials and the PMBOK® Guide for the specific sections on crisis management and risk prevention strategies.

It is indeed true that when a team succumbs to internal conflict, the apparent problem often isn't the real issue at hand. Conflicts within teams can be symptomatic of deeper underlying issues such as misaligned goals, lack of clear communication, or unresolved personal tensions. Recognizing that the surface-level problem might just be a manifestation of a deeper issue is crucial in conflict resolution. Effective conflict management involves digging deeper to identify and address the root causes of disagreement, rather than just the symptoms, to ensure long-term resolution and team cohesion.
