I realise I haven’t updated this blog in about a month nearly. Hopefully normal service will resume soon. The problem I am having, apart from a lack of time, is too many topics I have half written, decided not to publish until some further research is done, and not finding the time to do the said research.
So it’s kinda swung around and hit me in the face. Perhaps I’ll just stop being picky about stuff and write a load of dribble. Here it goes:
What I’ve been doing this past month is finishing off one mamoth project and starting another. Doh. I’m telling myself now that once this next one is done that is it for a while. Otherwise I’m likely to burn out… or possibly just drink too much beer on occasion. Neither is really helpful when trying to work, so I’ll need to work hard and play hard. And that means sticking to the schedule: Working when I’m meant to be working & Staying away from the computer other times.
Yeah, I know. Radical thought…
Having got back from 5 days away at my sister’s wedding, I realised there was much that I had missed, and more than half of it was unnessesary distraction, although still the sort of stuff I like to do, such as keep up to date on tech news etc.. but I need to pinch myself and just get the work stuff done first..
I’m going to aim to get this next project done before I go away to Athens again in late July, and then, spending lazy days in Placka drinking ice coffee, or beers as the warm evenings progress, will be a reward for compelting the project and finshing the punishing workload I inflicted upon myself.
Oh and I have several new tech books to read…
Yes, that happens. I’m experiencing the similiar things sometimes. There are too many thing that tend to distract you.
I think it’s reasonable to make a some kind of plan where you put the things you want to do and finish tomorrow, for instance. So, you should punch yourself at the end of the following day if you fail to finish something :).
