Spring Doldrums
So much to do. So little motivation.
Last weekend I had hoped to make some significant progress on my software architecture certificate project. No such luck. Friday night was spent at my co-worker Charlie’s place experimenting with my new external flash unit (cheap Chinese model speedlight). Saturday I didn’t feel particularly well, but managed to get some basic household maintenance done. Stephen came back into town on Sunday to stay a week while looking for a place to live up here, so we hung out a bit and eventually he bought a new computer and then, of course, we had to play some StarCraft II. That pretty much did it for Sunday. I’ve been similarly adrift at work, staring at a screen an alarmingly large percentage of the time.
What I should be doing:
- Cleaning out the spare bedroom
- Boxing up stuff, throwing stuff away, getting stuff shipped out
- Creating a photobook for Mom and Dad (from their anniversary)
- Software Architecture Certification
- Personal Software projects
- Personal Photography projects
What I do:
- Poke around the internet
- Sleep
So I think I may have discovered at least part of the reason that I’m not seeing the productivity that I’d like.
This coming weekend is Karen’s birthday, so I’m headed down that way. Maybe I’ll find some motivation along the way…
