Deadlines…a love/hate story.
Douglas Adams said, “I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.”
I am continually impressed by the work you do in your communities. Many of you wear multiple hats and adding a CREATE Grantee to that can be overwhelming. There are guidelines to follow, information to collect, the actual writing of the grant and making sure all of this happens in time to meet the CREATE Monthly deadlines.
As a reminder, here are the remaining deadlines for Fiscal Year 2015:
· April 13, 2015
· May 11, 2015
· June 8, 2015
We will announce the Fiscal Year 2016 Deadlines very soon.
It’s important to pay attention to deadlines, even if they are sometimes difficult. Maybe Harvey Mackay’s quote about deadlines is a better way to look at them: “Deadlines aren’t bad. They help you organize your time. They help you set priorities. They make you get going when you might not feel like it.”
Thank you for all you do for all our Colorado communities! We are here to support you, so please do not hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns.
