I had another sudden realization with an accompanying behavioral change. These things are a little odd. It’s not like I didn’t know i should be doing them, but they’ve both been kind of a bolt out of the blue anyway. That is they come with an instant commitment to do something different which I have no problem following through on. Also, there is not the slightest doubt that I WILL follow through.
I realized that most of my time at work is downtime, and I have been completely wasting the better part of eight hours that I could be using to improve myself and my situation. I know that one thing that successful people do is that they read stuff that will help them to be more successful. A lot. Well, I can’t read normally at work, but I can listen to audiobooks. I downloaded one on managing self talk (the sub has given me a leg up on this, but some conscious work will only super charge it), and Admaril McRaven’s book on eh call it life improvement. I’m listening to the first one now. I am going through and choosing a list that includes some general self improvement, some stuff specific to my field, and some stuff on job search/interviewing.
In other news, I have been a productivity machine. I look at my to do list first thing when I wake up, jump out of bed and bang off all the tasks. It’s almost like a fun game.
