May The Forth Be With You …

God, I’ve waited years to be able to type that in a post.

Which brings me to Yoda.

The bloody know-it-all.

I’ve written in the past about planners who aspire to be like our green friend.

But they tend to forget 3 major things.

1. Yoda isn’t an arrogant dick.

2. Yoda isn’t always right, as this clip proves.

3. Yoda is literally, a fucking muppet.

So stop trying to be someone else and find your own voice.

God, all that just so I could use that headline for this post.

Why have you taken years to write this post? May 4 happens every year. And the post is as bad as the posts you write on Jan, Feb, Mar etc 4.

That was my first reaction. May 4th is an annual event, why have you waited years?

🤯

That is a very good point. What the hell was I thinking. Oh I know, I wasn’t thinking at all.

Fool.

You just wanted an excuse to show the Yoda blooper didn’t you Robert?

Comment by George May 4, 2020 @ 6:46 am

Definitely.

Comment by Pete May 4, 2020 @ 6:54 am

To be fair to Robert, his points about “Yoda planners” are correct.

Comment by George May 4, 2020 @ 7:01 am

True. But he has been saying that for as long as I‘be known him.

“Yoda statement?”

None of this is May 4th worthy. Sorry Rob.

Comment by Pete May 4, 2020 @ 7:08 am

I dreaded the idea of getting the yoda statement insult.

Comment by Bazza May 4, 2020 @ 7:17 am

It only happened to me once and I talked him round but it scarred me for life.

Comment by Pete May 4, 2020 @ 7:26 am

Oh yes. The ultimate planner insult. But it was highly effective in ensuring briefs made sense.

Comment by George May 4, 2020 @ 7:37 am

I thought you came up with that George?

Comment by Rob May 4, 2020 @ 8:30 am

Though I accept I probably used it the most. Hahaha.

Comment by Rob May 4, 2020 @ 8:30 am

That went well.

Comment by John May 4, 2020 @ 10:03 am

Yep. As usual.

Comment by Rob May 4, 2020 @ 10:12 am

I think they overlooked the skill with which you illustrated your point that a yoda-like obsession with a clever headline can ultimately diminish the whole work.

Comment by John May 4, 2020 @ 11:23 am

but planners are fucking muppets.

Comment by andy@cynic May 4, 2020 @ 1:22 pm

and you all are fucking ugly.

Comment by andy@cynic May 4, 2020 @ 1:22 pm

You’ve spelt fourth wrongly.
So now you’re as bad as spelling at math.

Comment by DH May 4, 2020 @ 2:46 pm

Like all planners, he was obviously referring to the future. Well, like all planners who can’t spell do.

Comment by John May 4, 2020 @ 2:52 pm

Damnit.

Comment by Rob May 4, 2020 @ 4:31 pm

I just had someone on LinkedIn write to tell me I’d spelt it wrong. And English wasn’t even their native language. Great. Just great.

Comment by Rob May 4, 2020 @ 5:19 pm

That’s made my day.
