I’ve been dragging the weight for too long. I haven’t been the perfect employee or self-employed guy that I should’ve been and I’ve been taking a longer time than normal. I should’ve started things sooner and I should’ve had a faster turnaround when it comes to working on my backlogs. I don’t know, maybe I just got lazy in the process.
Edcel – a personal weblog mind games and then some.
Work Mode
April 24, 2012 — edcelSo I’m going to put myself in confinement for about a month or two. I’m planning not to have any travel plans which I know I’ll probably fail at but what the heck. I have to find a way to focus on my tasks without compromising other aspects in life.
Useless Weekend
September 11, 2011 — edcelEver had a weekend that was spent without doing anything? You had everything planned out so you could cover as much ground as possible and yet, you didn’t do anything. This is actually good if you were able to get a good night’s rest in both days off but when you were constantly online and yet you were so unproductive that you’re still where you’re at when you thought of finally finishing tasks that were pending a long time ago.
load off
July 19, 2011 — edcelI’m glad that a little bit of load was taken off my back because things became too busy for me that I didn’t know what to do anymore. Suddenly it became hard to put focus on utilizing other resources because everyday, my mind was preoccupied with finishing different jobs and I couldn’t stop myself from NOT sleeping. Rest was something that was forgotten and I didn’t know how I could juggle everything at once. Sure, I was able to do these things before; but not as fast anymore. Sign of old age? Not really. It’s more on concentrating on activities that have more value in the long term.
Adding More Work
July 10, 2011 — edcelI don’t know what’s wrong but I’m adding more work to my current list of things to do. I’m getting busier and busier nowadays as I set up more businesses (ha, I call them businesses yet I’m not earning). It’s only a matter of time and more effort before things will turn around. I have an ultimatum of 3 months to make sure that these won’t be a flop.
driven
June 23, 2011 — edcelDecisions if I should come clean with projects that I have online. It’s still something I am working on but I hope to replicate the same success without any hassle in the future. I know I should be less worried but circumstance is preventing me. This is especially true when I have to keep on building my online empire.
Going back to the grind
June 9, 2011 — edcelThe week is almost over. I’ll be back to the office. Somehow, I don’t feel like working. Things have been happening so fast that I don’t know if I still want to work. I think it’s just one of those days when I don’t feel like it. But I hope this will soon pass because I need all the energy I can get just to read a hefty number of emails and reminders.
break
May 14, 2011 — edcelI long for another break. A break away from the taxing realities of everyday work. Not that I can’t handle the stress. But I can’t bear the thought of appreciation not being recognized according to its due. I plan to just head off to a distant place just to unwind and relax. No concrete plans and just spur-of-the-moment decisions. I hope I’ll be able to do that before the summer ends. I haven’t even gone out of town! Sheesh
quick one
May 2, 2011 — edcelThis will be a quick update. I’m sick.
- Been working my arse off the past few weeks which isn’t really such a bad thing because of added responsibility that ups my value and makes me more useful. Compared to the past months, I’ve been doing more than the usual tasks and I’m welcoming the change.
another set of workload
March 29, 2011 — edcelI’ll be given another set of responsibility at work. I’m not sure if I mind. I’m not clamoring for it; but it’s fine. I’ll be having other tasks which will be helpful when I want to learn new skills like supervising people. No coachings but only feedbacks. I hope the team will do well as I don’t need the pressure of handling hard-headed people. Besides, I’m supposed to transition to a nomad’s life soon. For now, I’ll develop whatever skill I can learn.
getting the hang of it
February 26, 2011 — edcelFirst 3 days were torture but on the 4th, it was starting to be okay. This won’t be bad for me. At least I have additional funds to pay for debts and other loans I’ve accumulated through the years.
night shift again
February 19, 2011 — edcelI’m going back to the night shift. After more than a year of working in a normal schedule, I’ll be a nocturnal creature again, dependent no caffeine to keep me awake. Well, dependent is too strong a word.
edcel’s birthday
September 9, 2010 — edcelThis birthday was spent at work.
Fresh from a trip from Hongkong and preparing for a trip to Boracay. He’s been enslaving himself on the day of his natal just because he thinks that there’s no problem working because it’s just any normal day.
beach-hungry
July 25, 2010 — edcelI want to go to a beach again. I just went somewhere last month but I feel that there’s a need for me to get out of town and unwind. Maybe because of the moving and transferring to a new house has stressed me out. I still have a lot of tasks on my list but I’m taking them one day at a time. I’m actually a lot saner now compared to 6 months ago.
time flies
July 19, 2010 — edceland we’re still here. I’m glad that there are people who are good enough to doubt twice before believing. My point is that I’m more curious on how businesses are sustained. It doesn’t matter where the money had come from, it’s a matter of what you do with it in order to preserve and circulate it.
