Best practices for project execution and deliveryCLIVE MINCHIN
A select set of project management best practices to keep your project on-track, on-cost and aligned to scope. Many firms have don't have the necessary skills, diligence, methods and oversight of their projects; this leads to slippage, higher costs and longer timeframes. Often firms have a history of projects that simply failed to move the needle. These best practices will help your firm avoid these pitfalls but they require fortitude to apply.

SAFE DISPOSAL OF PRESCRIPTION PAIN MEDICATION
Do not flush medications down the toilet or drain. Scientific studies have shown that medications are
present in small amounts in our lakes, rivers and ground water and may be bad for the environment.
Do your part to prevent poisonings, pollution and abuse. Clean out your medicine cabinet and take un-
used medications to collection bins located at police stations and sheriff’s offices for safe and legal dis-
posal. You cannot take medications back to your pharmacy. To find safe disposal sites and special
medication collection events, visit useonlyasdirected.org and click on safe disposal.
If you cannot find a collection site or event in your community, follow these steps for safe disposal in your
garbage:
Remove all personal identification from the bottles.
Crush and mix unused drugs with an undesirable substance such as coffee grounds, table scraps or dirt.
Place mixture in a sealed container and put it in your trash can on the day of pick-up.
6. 6 Home Maintenance Tips (www.statefarm.com)
Summer Maintenance For Your Home—- Rising temperatures and glorious sunny days make summer
an ideal season for getting work done around the house. Whether you’re cooling off indoors or working
on your tan, take the time to perform some simple, routine home maintenance. You’ll have a safer home
if you catch problems and wear-and-tear before they become hazards.
Keeping Cool Inside—Energy efficiency is a top priority when electricity bills climb as high as the tem-
peratures outside. Hopefully you’ve had your air conditioning system checked in the spring, as repairmen
are often busy in the summer and you may have to sweat it out until your appointment.
Ceiling fans provide an energy-efficient way of circulating cool air. Dust them if needed and balance any
wobbly blades by tightening loose screws. For additional energy efficiency, check windows and doors for
air leaks and seal with weather stripping or caulk as needed. You’re paying for the cool air, so take steps
to be sure it’s not escaping outdoors.
Home Exterior Care and Landscaping—Take advantage of the warm weather and wash the outside of
your windows and clean the siding. While it might be tempting to use a pressure washer, a garden hose
is best to avoid potentially damaging the exterior of your home. Apply a coat of fresh paint if needed, and
repair any damaged vinyl or aluminum siding.
Be aware of termites while you’re outside inspecting your home. Termites can easily go undetected until
significant damage has been done. Look for telltale signs like flaking wood or mud buildup and tunneling
systems in the exterior wood of your home. Professional pest control inspections are recommended if
you have any suspicions of possible infestation.
Well-tended landscaping and a trim and tidy house are as welcoming to guests as the smells of a barbe-
que. Garden beds look their best when mulched and weeded. Summer annuals can be induced to pro-
duce more flowers and bloom longer when you deadhead them. Removing spent flowers also prevents
the plant from going to seed. Check garden plants, trees, and shrubs for insect infestations. Unhealthy
plants should be removed so that others may thrive.
Lush green grass is of course desirable; however, it is not always realistic or water-efficient. Encourage
healthy grass growth with regular mowing, but remember: Keeping grass cut longer in the summer
months will prevent roots from drying out as quickly.
Grass and plants should be watered in the morning to allow the water to soak through the soil throughout
the day in order to completely nourish their root systems. Check to see if your municipality has water
conservation restrictions before watering your lawn or garden.
Trees provide shady ambience and should be well cared for to avoid potential damage to your home.
Keep their branches pruned and at a safe distance from your home to avoid storm-related damage. In-
spect trees for signs of decay, such as cracks or hollowed limbs, and keep branches clear of your home
and power lines. Arborists or tree care professionals can assist with the cutting and removal of large or
high limbs.
Also, before planting additional trees and shrubs in your yard, take into consideration the plant's size
when mature and whether or not roots might intrude upon underground pipes or paved surfaces such as
sidewalks and driveways.
Garage Upkeep—Hazardous materials such as paint and solvents should be disposed of properly. Don’t
store heat-sensitive or combustible materials in the garage, as the temperature will be rising throughout
the season. Inspect the floor for grease spots from leaking car fluids, and have your car serviced
promptly if you find any.
If you have children, instruct them not to go in the garage unaccompanied. Store your hand tools and
power tools behind a lock and key. Fertilizers, weed-killers, and pesticides should be stored out of a
child’s reach or behind a locked cabinet. You might also consider organic gardening, which employs non-
toxic alternatives to these poisonous chemicals.
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.
~Elmer Davis
7. Driveways And Walkways—Inspect the pavement for cracks and holes, and remedy them. This goes a
77 long way in preventing accidental slips, trips, and falls. It also works to avoid larger repairs or resurfacing
in the future. If you see weeds popping up between cracks in the pavement, resist the urge to pull them
up. You’ll remove the upper part of the weed, but the root system will remain intact and new growth will
return within a few weeks. For a cost-effective solution, boil water in a kettle, carefully carry the kettle out-
side, and pour the water on any weeds to kill them off for the season.
Make Your House a Healthy Home! (EPA)
How can you protect yourself and your family from carbon monoxide poisoning? Never
idle your car or lawnmower in the garage, even if the garage door is open.
SAVING TIP (The Simple Dollar)
Buy video games that have a lot of replay value – and don’t acquire
new ones until you’ve mastered what you have. My video game buying
habits have changed quite a bit since my “game of the week” days. Now, I
focus on games that can be played over and over and over again, and I
focus on mastering the games that I buy. Good targets include puzzle
games and long, involved quest games – they maximize the value of your
gaming dollar.
SAVE ENERGY (www.we-energies.com)
Washers and dryers
• Adjust the water level. If you have a washer that allows you to control the load’s water level, adjust
the level according to laundry load size. You can save energy by using less hot water for small loads.
• Run full loads. Always run a full load in your washer or dryer. Running a partial load uses the same
amount of energy as a full load – but you get less done. Running full loads allows you to run your
washer or dryer less often.
• Wash laundry in warm or cold water. Washing laundry with warm or cold water works your water
heater less. Use hot water only when the greatest cleaning is needed.
• Rinse in cold water. Rinse water temperature has no effect on cleaning. Rinsing with cold water
saves money by heating less water.
• Place the washer close to the water heater. Water loses heat as it flows through pipes. When the
washer is located near the water heater, hot water doesn’t have to travel as far to reach the washer,
and less heat is lost. Insulating the pipes between the water heater and washer helps retain heat, too.
• Don’t dry clothes excessively. Drying laundry excessively uses more energy than is needed, and is
hard on fabrics. If you purchase a dryer, get one with an electronic sensor that shuts off the dryer
when clothes are dry.
• Clean the lint filter. After each load, clean the filter to keep the dryer running efficiently. Also, periodi-
cally check the air vent and hose for clogging. Keeping the air vent and hose free of lint prevents a
fire hazard.
BENEFITS OF HOMEOWNERSHIP
Every home purchased pumps more than $60,000 into
the economy for furniture, home improvements, and re-
lated items.
8. 88 SAVE STRATEGIES (American Saves)
Budgeting and Saving for a Wedding
A recent article revealed that the average couple spent $27,000 on their wedding in 2011. No matter
how much your wedding will cost there are two important steps in keeping your costs to a minimum.
Like planning for any large purchase it’s good to
Create a Wedding Budget and a Savings Timeline.
Setting a date and making sure you have enough time to save for your wedding are important first
steps once you get engaged. You may want to pick a date and venue as soon as possible but take
some time to figure out what kind of wedding you want to have and how much you want to spend. Be
sure to give yourself time to save enough money for whatever kind of wedding you want.
Soon after you have had some conversations about what kind of wedding you want to have (local vs.
destination, small vs. big, day vs. evening) sit down and take a look at the numbers. It’s hard when
you start with an “ideal” vision in your head and then realize the cost is out of your budget. So before
you make too many plans, sit down with your future partner and talk about how much you want to
spend on the event. You may find it helpful to write out a range of the costs associated with all the
different elements of your wedding. It’s amazing how quickly all the little items add up.
Find Ways to Save Money on Your Wedding Budget
Once you have a draft wedding budget written out, find places to cut money. Here are some sugges-
tions on how to cut costs.
• Invitations – Design and print your own save the dates and invitations. Better yet, email them.
• Flowers – Make your own wedding bouquet and centerpieces by buying bulk flowers and assem-
bling them yourself OR reuse bridesmaid’s flowers and centerpieces during the reception.
• Food – Do heavy appetizers instead of a full meal or a hold your wedding during the day to save
money.
• Attire – Find cheaper alternatives in local department stores, or by buying used.
• Reception – Recruit crafty friends to make unique homemade centrepieces.

BE GOOD TO YOUR HEALTH (SelectHealth Total Fitness)
5 Steps to Better Health
• Do you have five minutes to spare? If so, you can accomplish more than you might imagine when
it comes to protecting your health. Use those five minutes to give one of these ideas a try:
Make a potentially life-extending phone call. Are you overdue for a checkup with your doctor, immu-
nizations, or a screening test such as a mammogram? Don’t put it off any longer. Schedule an ap-
pointment now.
• Learn the signs of a heart attack. Rapid medical care is key to surviving a heart attack, which
means recognizing the symptoms is essential.
• Calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) online. BMI is an indication of body fat based on your
height and weight. Go to www.cdc.gov/bmi to determine your BMI.
• Get your blood pressure checked. About one in five people with high blood pressure don’t know
they have this health problem.
• Be a disease detective. Ask a relative about your family’s health history.
