Struggling To Be Useful Today
Pardon the stream of though nature that I expect this blog post to embody. I’m pretty much failing to do useful work today. I did get some time in for one of my clients to finish up some unit tests I was writing and I worked on some details for a new project proposal. But since then I’m really floundering and I’m not sure why or what I can do about it.
So, rather than do more of what I’ve done for the last couple hours, I’ve decided to hop on my treadmill and get some walking in. I also figured that if I blog while walking that maybe, just maybe, I’d get some inspiration.
I could be working on Supporting.us, the non profit that the Alagad crew is starting up. I need to get more content up on it, especially as related to refunds, etc. I need this content not only so I can start promoting Supporting.us, but so I can show it to the merchant account provider and get approval for our merchant account. With that we could really get started.
Given all the other things (ADD and depression) I’ve been trying to manage I’ve been giving myself a free pass on Supporting.us, but I’m thinking next week I’ll set a rule of doing one hour of work on it every day, first thing in the morning. If I’m not enjoying the writing, then at least I’ll be doing a little bit each day.
Speaking of which, no chance you, fine reader, know of anyone who would be willing to donate some design time to make Supporting.us a little prettier? If so, send me an email at doug@doughughes.net, please.
I could also be working on a couple of my other side projects (urate.it, respondin.gs, all my parked domains, etc). But again, I’m just not. And I’m not sure why.
Beyond that, I could also be outside trying to finish putting my kids play set together. This would be something I just might enjoy, but it seems like I should be putting more effort into doing real work durring the weekday.
And so, I am here on the treadmill walking. I’m hoping that maybe getting my blood flowing will get me off my arse. And, on that note I just remembered that one of my clients needs me to research YouTube Direct. I think I’ll do that.
