Samir, who works under me now is struggling a bit. He just cannot get things done. I am trying hard to motivate him, but it is hardly working… I setup a daily schedule to force him to work harder. I meet with him weekly and tell him how he’s doing. I try to challenge him by setting aggressive goals. Plus, I give him a chance to create his own schedule so he can finish it by himself. Maybe he’s not productive enough? Maybe he’s not smart enough and does not care about work. It could be. It looks like that actually. When we find a new guy to work here, I might have to tell him to look for something else because this type of performance is not going to work.
Things are challenging here. I have to finish a task for David tomorrow. It’s a lot of work, but I think I can do it. Then there is another task tomorrow, but I think I should be able to finish it.
Fabian is starting to get interested in books. He really likes it when I read “Goodnight Gorrilla” to him. He is staying mostly focused when I read the book to him. That’s a change from before. He could not focus for the whole book. Now he can. And that’s great!
