Day 2 of 'power week' - of me spending time on my own during the day, hard at work.
Working from home with me as my own boss for generation of future income. haha.
I've been quite good I think in setting myself a schedule and working towards it. The excel gantt chart (how can the world function without excel!) and the little bits of paper that I use every day for the few things I am to achieve every day, at 6pm today, I have ticked all but one (and also fit in a few more). Freedom to have a siesta, not bound to the desk, by other people's schedules...Bliss!
I bought Dan Miller's book '48 days to the Work you love' at IAH at the end of my visit in January, and was thinking that the 48 days would pass quickly and disciplined enough for me to land something that I love by the end of it. Of course training for the London Marathon, as well as cancelled trips due to the tsunami, and many visitors, got in the way. Finally I have signed up to the community and have done an intense session (not recommended) to bring everything up to Day 10. I know I might not find my ideal job in another 38 days time, but hope that by then I would have a pretty good idea.
I borrow a picture from Dan Miller's Blog to start to pull together a little bit of my own brand statement (something for later on in the week) - this picture illustrates how lots of people define and let others define themselves, eg I work for [insert name of major bank]
Ironically, currently I'm quite proud of my 'job' - Lady of Leisure , LOL :P
