Resolution

I had a long think about things last night and I decided to accept a new motto:

“GIVE IT LARGE OR GIVE IT UP”

In other words – I need to throw myself into what I’m doing, whatever I’m doing. If I can’t give it 100% effort, then maybe I shouldn’t be doing it in the first place. If I can adopt this attitude in all aspects of my life, things should improve. I’ll realise what I enjoy, and I’ll find time to do that more often. I’ll be more creative, productive and confident, and do away with wasting time on boring tasks.

I wanted to take this into my work life too. Even if I’m confronted with a situation or task that I’d rather avoid or delay, I would tackle it head on and get it done quickly and efficiently, then reward myself by indulging in an activity of my own choosing.

That lasted until 9.45am this morning, when I sat in my office and remembered I have a big report to write for the Area Manager about the proposed changes to our structure. At which point I said “sod this” and started playing Tri-Peaks Solitaire.
