Home Office: Ready or not here comes change
Autopilot has been my mode of operation for the past several months. Projects and life in general has kept me busy so it has been handy having some things in my day that required little organization – I just sat down and got it done.
Things are changing in several areas – especially since the first of this year. Some changes seem to be good and others are not so good. It is most difficult when I have little to say about the changes. But, just like the rest of you I will persevere and hopefully find even better ways to do these things.
It may seem like a contradiction when I say that change is made easier when you can hold onto as much sameness as possible. Simply put, try not to change too much too soon. Keep what is working and change what is not working.
Free up time by weeding out unnecessary projects with little future. Cut your losses and move onto bigger and better things. In the meantime continue with projects that show promise. Change will come even if you are not ready so the best you can do is to stay organized. Open your mind to new information and put one foot in front of the other – keep moving forward.
Got specific examples?
Yes. Two blogs that I write for is changing formats: My IRA has not been funded for 2008 and I have no idea whether I should fund it or not: I want to buy every gadget that I see because I fear that soon there will not be new updated ones available to buy: My business is so busy that I can hardly look up - no one applying for a job - yet I hear how high the unemployment rate is: I need to purchase quipment for my business but I wonder if the tax breaks are going to be overturned: I want to make plans to attend CES 2009 but wonder if it will happen: I could go on and on but I won’t. I am still a positive thinker but it takes more energy everyday to keep it up.
