Reflection from organizing team building session

Last August I wanted to organize a farewell for my intern using team building session. But at the end I wavered because there is one colleague who cannot attend and I started to feel bad as other farewell usually does not use team building fund. So I canceled it and moved the team building session this month. It turns out that there are at least 3 people who can't join for all possible dates while the budget is due at the end of this month. 

The reason I capture here is so that I do not feel guilty. Rather, I need to extract the lesson learned and then move on. The lesson is that when most people are available, just go ahead. Stick to the current plan and initial thoughts, avoid being shaken by some additional thoughts. As for now, things have already happened and we can't turn back the time. Look at the alternatives available and then decide one of them. Acknowledge that at the end the decision would not be able to satisfy all people, especially at this stage where more than 2 people are not around. 


Also remember that it is not my main task. So there is no need to worry much about it. Stay focus on my main tasks.
