stop wasting time

This is an on-going goal for me. I have incorporated tihs goal into another which will hopefully help me with this as well as the stop procrastinating goal.

Work has become very very hectic these past few days – last couple of weeks actually. I feel like I am juggling numerous glass balls in the air and I cannot afford to drop even one. But, as in the past, I find that I revel in such a high pressure atmosphere and often am at my best. The ennui that seemed to have enveloped me after I came back from vacation has disappeared. I no longer feel like I am simply passing time in the office, not being able to give my best because I couldn’t get back into the groove. I feel great even though I am mentally exhausted at the end of the day but it is worth it.

More importantly, since I have been directly involved in several high level discussions and decisions at the corporate level where my inputs have been specifically asked for and taken into account while making the final decision, I feel exhilarated at getting tangible proof of how I directly contribute to my company’s growth and well-being. This has, in turn, made me more enthusiastic about my work. I like what I do but recent events had made me weary of continuously striving to do more with less with no appreciation or acknowledgement of my skills and experience. This has now changed quite a bit and I am again excited about what I do.

In my new found enthusiasm I find that I am more eager to handle tasks which I have been putting off for ages and get them done. So YAY!!!

...and not really too little time, if I didn’t fritter it away on either the Net or on things which have a way of getting in the way of accomplishing the things I need to do. And sometimes it is just plain laziness. Of course, the size of the work makes it an even more daunting prospect.

So I never get started and things never get done. :(

OK.. I am not well but really I could have done some things. I just didn’t feel like doing anything except play around with my laptop in bed. My body aches, my head hurts, my eyes are watering but honestly, if I could make the effort to fool around on my laptop, I should have been able to at least study for my CISSP exam. UGH!
