Scanning Headlines

Man oh man is it easy to get distracted. Watch a video, listen to a press conference, grab a bite to eat, and suddenly it’s after lunch and I haven’t written anything. No wonder we celebrate those who don’t wander. Those individuals stay focused. They work hard to perfect their craft. They remain vigilant, unlike me this morning.

Fast forward five hours and I’m still not finished. Yep I’ve finished some things today, but this is normally first. Typically it’s the first thing I get accomplished for the day. In the not too distant past, this is completed before I’m awake 30-45 minutes. Now, it’s nearly the end of the day and I’m still writing. I’ve got to gain control and exercise more discipline.

Today, Wednesday, April 8, 2020, I am grateful that:

I can spot deficiencies. I’d rather not have any but if I am not going to wake up perfect, I’m at least happy with being able to spot areas where improvement is needed.

Even when things evolve and I’m not as focused, I can still get this list done. Some days just getting one thing done is the best I have to offer.

D.C. sent another person for a bio. It’s something to keep me in the habit of writing besides this list. It’s also great to have a champion. He’s a believer in me and what I do. That’s important.

I get to write something other than this list and novels. I’m actively looking for freelance positions for content and articles. I’d like to stretch myself within my craft and that’s another way to perfect my work, by writing outside of my normal tendencies.

When’s the last time you were out of your comfort zone at work?

How do you stretch yourself professionally?

Do you have any raving fans? People that believe in you and what you do? Those that tell others of the value you add?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
