  • some friction

    It’s been a dissapointing day for me today. On a personal level. I got injuried by my newest acquisition. And it’s nothing really unexpected, but it hurts. In either case, I will use it as a building block, as a well to build some insulation between me and him.

    But I will not give in.

    This is my team and him probably not getting my message well doesn’t mean that I will stop doing it. I’m trying to help. 

    I do understand that there are risks with people with experience. I knew that. I expected that. I have to learn to deal with that.

    In a way, he has a right to act that way. As long as it does not distract.

    It’d be interesting how it plays out down the road.

  • insulation

    I am doing a lot of house work. I spend a lot of money doing it. Is it worth it? I hope it will be. Eventually. But even now, you pay for luxury. Is it? It hink so. The freedom; better schools; better social status. I think positives are there.

    But it is expensive!

    My latest project? Insulation! For around $600 (with truck rental charge), I put 18 bags of Atticat insulation into my attic. It’s a loose fiberglass insulation. Fairly easy process once I had everything ready. My wife helped me.

    Will it work? Don’t know yet. Victor’s rooms seems to be warmer now. Will know more when it is cold outside!

  • refocus

    When I feel stuck? When things are not working as they should? When I focus on things I should not? What should I do?

    REFOCUS!

    #1 – Focus on MITs

    What is my MIT at work now? It’s even pacing and I’m not making too much progress. I need urgency there. I need to start getting things done.

    I can’t allow to get a warning. And if I continue on this path, I sure will.

    Starting from tomorrow, and till I get the project done, I will focus 100% on this task.

    I need to start making progress. After I do that, I know motivation will come.

    Tomorrow is the day!

  • getting things done

    I just love to tweak things. I love on user facing products. I realized that the other day. I have a limited exposure to that here in m6d. But I still do. And when I work on them, I like to polish things out. I love that! I love to make things better. I love to make improvements. I love to making the UI beatiful. That’s one things that drags me in. But that also has me spending too much time on those tasks. And taking me away from the MITs. MITs are important. They’re the most important. I need to keep that in mind.

    It’s 6:01. Time to spend a few minutes writing a blog entry!

    Jump up, jump up, jump up!

    My goal is to be a prolific worker. To do that, I need to be able to focus on MITs! Am I doing that? Not always! Am I slacking off? NO! Am I procrastinatiing? A little, I would say. But I’m being dragged in to the things of less importance. I should change that. MITs are most important! Yes, yes, yes!

  • getting things done

    I think my goal setting is working. Yes, I cannot expect to do great everyday, but I can force myself to focus on the MIT. Whether I get good results from that, only time will tell. I do hope so. It’s not always easy to focus on the things that might not be so interesting. But to be plorific, I have to!

  • work

    I’m getting that “I love this work” feeling from time to time. That in itself tells me that I have picked the right job. I love that! I love this job. I just hope things continue to stay this way. I really don’t want to change jobs. No, not this time. I want to stick around until I a) get really bored b) don’t stay motivated c) things turn out for the worse. If things improve, and I stay positive and prolific, I am hoping for great things to come out. What can I say: keep continuing; keep improving; keeg delivering!
