Leaving a group -- plan ahead

Until the time of your announcement, keep planning into the future. They may get suspicious if all your plans end on June 1.

• By planning things for after you are gone means you are not just abandoning them or leaving them in the lurch.
  
• It also means you will be more effective right up to the end, avoiding the tendency to slack off. As they say in baseball, you need to “swing through the ball, not just meet it.”
