It's a pretty nice desk.
Leaving my regular day job has been something I’ve been simultaneously looking forward to and dreading. Looking forward to, because the environment at the day job could be rather tense. Looking forward to because the kind of work that I was doing there, while challenging and rewarding, wasn’t what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. And I’m not getting any younger.
What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know I. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
The question’s author once received a fortune cookie that read: “Speak less of your plans, you’ll get more done.” Which goes against some people’s advice regarding accountability. I like accountability. I prefer the maxim “Performance which is measured is performance that improves.” It’s one of the reasons I like the iPhone app LoseIt. It lets people know how I’m doing on my goals. It’s also a part of what I’m thinking of doing with my own writing.
