it’s time to clean house. there’s something to be said for starting the new year on the right foot. i don’t quite feel like i’ve done so thus far. sure, it’s clichéd. but i’ll take any motivation i can get, especially when i barely catch any sunlight each day, and the ground is covered in ice and snow (a somewhat rarity down here!).
i found out last week that my boss, who is already working half-time, will only be working a few hours a week starting next week. his responsibilities will be split between me and our president. i’ve been slow and slacking and just doing enough to get by for a while now. but it’s time to step it up again. get back to the hard worker i used to be. it feels like a fresh, clean slate almost. almost. just need to tie up some loose ends, finally empty my “to be filed” basket, tackle a few lingering mundane tasks. i want to close 2010’s books (literally and figuratively) neatly and on a good note.
over and over, i keep learning that i feel much better about my day, job, life, if i am productive. those days when i just don’t want to work and i slack off? i end up in a lame mood, and i tend to let it stay that way all night.
i have so much to look forward to this year that i really don’t have time for that kind of nonsense. you know?
POST EDIT: i just realized the similarity between the first sentence of this post and the one below. common theme in my life? time to get on it.
