Problem:
Controlling the resource of time.
-too much on the calendar forces the organization to do too many events at a 50% proficiency rate versus doing what is important to that unit at a 90% proficiency
– Creates improper planning timelines for large-scale resources to be applied against that event. For example, ammunition, fuel, food, and land for large organizations for multiple days. 
–  Technology erodes calendared events even further with the ability of the technology to make inflight adjustments or competing priorities. (Cell phone groups pin balling things around)
– Every second is accounted for at the higher echelon which give zero time to the subordinate unit. 
– We are losing the ability to be thorough and discipline
Solution:
– Ensure events have a deliberate recovery time before another major event. 
– Make sure there is time on the calendar for absolutely nothing to be done. 
– Outlaw text groups during the work day for zero deviation and thoroughness.

Do you agree with Matt Normand’s assumption that as behavior analysts, we are first scientists? Why or why not? What are the implications of acting as a scientist and how can you ensure that you will practice along these guidelines?
