Thursday already! Time flies when you aren’t doing anything of significance. Lol. This self pity needs to go. But genuinely, I am guilt-ridden with how little work I am doing. Both inside, and outside.
As per Adler, at least based on the excellent “The courage to be disliked”, the reason I am doing so little at work is because it’s my choice to do exactly that. Instead of giving it my all and doing life-changing work irrespective of if anyone is asking me to not, I am simply falling into the trap of saying “but there’s no management”, “no work”, “there’s always next week”, etc. All I want is to be lazy and get paid and do as little as possible. But because saying so would go against my lofty, deluded self-image, I chose to blame circumstances. Anyway, that’s Adler for you.
Either way, I do agree with Jim Rohn who says that every time someone does less than they are fully capable of, their psychology suffers. And when compounded over time, it’s a rut that leads to self-ruin, lost confidence, and the mediocrity malaise.
Anyway – all this is true. But it’s also true that things at work have been slow all week. Possibly all month. So I guess I have to generate my own accountability, and run with my own agenda. If the rumours of redundancies are true, then the least I can do that’s in my control is to showcase all my good stuff. So here’s to that.
Not much to report on the personal front, all good. Ticking along well.
I’ll see you at the same time tomorrow!
