A Sense Of Accomplishment
by John on Feb.03, 2010, under Main Stuff
Today was a real change from the past couple of days. As opposed to spending a huge amount of time on one or two projects, I wound up spreading my time across a few more tasks, and wound up crossing two of them off my list as “done” (one’s really in a “this is as far as I can take it right now until spring” position, and the other is just a milestone in a much larger project). As it stands, I’m probably going to bed in a couple of hours feeling like I’ve done a lot more than I really have.
It’s all well and good to have multiple projects running, but at the same time it’s important to recognize points at which you can say that you’ve made real progress. It’s also important to not tackle too much at once. That’s a lesson I wish I had learned years ago, really.
