I love spring. My birthday is in Spring. But this year, spring has been pretty cold. I remember trying to organise a cross between an afternoon tea and a barbecue for my 21st, and being very disappointed in the weather. Which is a roundabout way of saying that I guess Spring is usually much colder than I expect, after getting excited that Winter is coming to a close. I would have loved some nice weather for my week off next week.
I am taking a week off between jobs, as I have just been made redundant. I knew it was coming, most of our company shut down at the end of June, so I have been pretty fortunate. It does bring a period of reflection that I think is fitting for Spring. While giving my bedroom and car a thorough Spring clean, I will also try to clean out some of my bad attitudes and freshen up my motivation levels.
I was given a pretty tough project to handle, and I let myself get overwhelmed. In retrospect, I realise I should have simply tackled it one task at a time, re-organised the files in a way I found logical, and made myself more accountable. Having recently rediscovered 43 things, I plan on putting those realisations into action in my personal life to achieve goals that would have previously overwhelmed me.
For instance, I have decided to join NaBloPoMo to build a habit of writing every day. One of my goals is to participate in NaNoWriMo in November, so this will be a great practice event for me. I need to take each day at a time, and plan my posts in a way that makes sense to me. I have made myself accountable by being put on the NaBloPoMo blogroll, and I plan on keeping my motivaiton levels high by concentrating on the reward at the end of the month.
Best Wishes to all you other NaBlo writers out there!
