Hey, y'all,
Lately I've been rocking and rolling. This, for me, means a lot of work. I'm killing it (in the good way) at school, rocking the Masters work, teaching four students private piano lessons, and continuing to convert the Vansion. My current stage revolves around continuous productivity. "Another day gone...What do I have to show for it?" I think this is the way to live life. Having an active mindset amplifies ones initiatives and thus legacy. What's holding me back? 1. An addiction to Facebook. I spend as much an hour or two a day browsing the website. This tool is important for me to maintain friendships across the country, but it's easy to overdo. I am attacking this head-on. Thanks to the advice of my mother, I have vowed to spend more time blogging and less time on Facebook. 2. A lack of proactivity regarding deadlines. Without imminent deadlines I frequently wait to complete projects. I am attacking this head-on by creating intermediate deadlines and reminders on my calendar. Do you have a strategy to overcome procrastination? What works for you?

My best buddy Spencer mentioned a few weeks ago that he was considering beginning a blog. I perked up: "I almost did that!"
What is "almost," anyway? Lately, I've been realizing that many "almosts" are great opportunities missed because of laziness or petty frustration. I am profoundly thankful I didn't just "almost" move to Colorado, for example. "Almost" is a pitiful investment - to generate an idea, to get so close to following through, then all at once abandon it. More and more I ask myself: "What's the worst that could happen?" The answer is often trivial in comparison to the ideal result. As a young professional I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Through this blog I hope to gain the following, in order from most to least important: 1. A better sense of my values, personality, temperament, and culture. 2. An increased sense of connection with my family, friends, and colleagues. 3. Personal documentation of my logic sequences for life decisions. I've got a few on the table right now. So despite the initial hassle and continuous labor required to maintain a blog, I'm trying it. Because... What's the worst that could happen??? |
