You can tell I’m peripherally involved in motivation issues at my day job by the recent blogs posts eh?
A blog I read I WIll Teach You To Be Rich has a great article today.
2006 is already 25% over.
Around mid-February, people start to forget their New Year’s resolutions, or they start rationalizing them away: “Well, I’ll go to the gym next week but I’m so busy this week” blah blah blah.
I think the best part is near the end:
Will I look back in 10 years and be satisfied with what I did in the early part of 2006?
I’m pretty happy where I am this year. I have procrastinated a little but it’s not all been bad. I’ve worked the day job, I’ve done stuff for infurious (no, not really much “work” – sorry, mate). There are things I’d like to try again. I’d think a bit before speaking in some cases. I’d shut the hell up in others.
I’m sometimes concerned about whether or not I’m delivering. My job is probably 60% technical, 20% admin and 20% management. I know I’m right up there technically. I know I need to work more on the admin and I think I’m doing okay with the management. Or they could be just blowing smoke up my @$$.
We all have a lot of work ahead. Another 3/4 of a year to endure or enjoy.
