Catching Up and Getting Real

The past year has seen the setting and forgetting of so many personal goals of mine that it is depressing if I stop and think about it.  One of those goals, regularly writing on my blog, I am making the highest priority and starting with a fresh vigor.

I wish I could blame everything on Hurricane Ike, but it was just a footnote in the challenges I have allowed to take control of achieving the goals I have set for myself. 

The company that I work for still is not fully recovered from the storm and I am looking forward to returning to normalcy at work.  The office and my responsibilities were always something that I could count to have a handle on.  Lately that has not been the case between having to hire almost an entirely new development and analysis team, taking on the management of another team that works on projects I am not involved in, and then there was Ike...

I'm determined not to allow myself to be set back any further than I already have been.

The first step that I am taking is to clarify my priorities.  I have so many at the moment that it would be impossible for me to truly dedicate myself to their achievement.  I am so compulsive and obsessive about what I am into at the moment ( which could change at any moment ) that I cannot pay even the smallest attention to my previous goals and interests until I have ground my current fling into a fine dust and I am absolutely sick of it as I find that I cannot perfect it in a short enough amount of time.

I need to get real with what I want, that's step one.

Step two, narrow my vision to the goals and priorities I have set until they are achieved.

It all sounds so simple, but putting it into practice is SO hard.  I will keep updating this blog with my progress, my clarified goals, and whatever interest is taking all of my free time at the moment ( see, there I go again ).
