Hear that world? This blog is for me. It's my own record of things I'm learning and topics I'm interested in. It's a professional diary of sorts. What's that you say? Why even write a blog then? Hmmm, got me there. Well, accountability for one. I figure if it put it 'out there', I'll be more motivated to follow my personal development plan. I also admit that I'm looking for a creative outlet for my creative ramblings. But really, I hope that someday this blog could be for you, that I might someday be able to turn the corner in my mind from learning to teaching, absorbing to sharing, taking to giving. It's probably as much an question of self esteem as anything, but there you go. For now, this blog is for me.
It's so easy to settle into your daily grind that you can wake up one day and months or years have gone by. I'd like to say that I'm being proactive to avoid that, but I have to admit that it's happened to me too. It's pretty easy to get lazy. Lately though, I've been picking up steam in the self help department. I used to be very much into self help books, you know, 7 Habits and all that. Great stuff but that's not what I'm referring to now. I'm speaking more about professional development. What new programming language should I learn, what new technologies do I need to come up to speed on? What hobby projects have been languishing in he recesses of my mind for too long?
lazy (adjective): disinclined to activity
or exertion : not energetic or vigorous
I've made a list. I like lists. They appeal to my analytic mind and organizational gene. It's not comprehensive by any means, but it's some big rocks. (you know about big rocks all you self-helpers). So, I'll spend the rest of this post working on my list. Enjoy!
