Projects Don’t Drift by Accident
Projects don’t drift because people are careless.
They drift because everyone is being reasonable.
Reasonable timelines.
Reasonable assumptions.
Reasonable compromises.
Each one makes sense on its own.
Together, they quietly move the project off course.
Drift happens when no one redraws the line
and says, “This is still the objective.”
Good project managers don’t just manage plans.
They manage direction.
And they correct it early —
before “reasonable” becomes irreversible.

Marketing agencies: Your website is your best salesperson. Is it hitting its quota?
I just dropped a new Framer template on @Contra HQ designed to help boutique agencies stand out, showcase case studies beautifully, and convert visitors into partners.
Why use it?
Clean, modern aesthetic.
Ultra-fast loading speeds.
Built-in CMS for easy portfolio updates.
Stop overthinking your rebrand and just launch it.
I’m currently on a retainer with a Framer ENT client, and last week we investigated why part of their site was struggling with Core Web Vitals - specifically INP.
Using dev tools and some throttling, I recorded a performance trace and was able to repro the issue with an average recorded INP of over 300ms.
The pages were built by me and fairly simple, so I knew there wasn’t any heavy logic running in the background. So my main suspect was the usual: tracking scripts.
So I duplicated the project, paused the scripts, and ran the exact same test under the same conditions. This change alone made the avg INP drop below 50ms.
The team is now discussing which tools are actually necessary and which ones aren’t, but the bottom line is the same.
