The idea of "intellectual property" as a lifetime occupation is somewhat vague, I freely admit. That's because, even at my *ahem* advanced age, I still suffer the "robot viking ninja pirate" career problem.
I have a few books in me; I have a few compositions I want to see SOMEone perform, and I have been poking at any NUMBER of products since forever. I was actually flogging a product functionally identical to the Powersquid to a manufacturer I had ties to. Sadly, my product got shelved, and while I was waiting for it to ripen someone else took over the market with it. C'est la vie; at least I know my ideas have some currency.
Work on THIS blog doesn't count, and work on projects over and above the two I mentioned last night may (or may not) be noted, but the main thing is completion or otherwise of a reasonable amount of productive work, and this level of accountability will, according to all those self-help types, will help.
Commentary and notes to myself will also occasionally appear. Just so you know.
For today, I want to be modest; I'll spend an hour on the book and 2 on foreclosures.
Well, crap.
ReplyDeleteI fell asleep...
Got an hour done in the novel, but NO work on real estate. :[
I could make excuses. I could say I'm sick, which I am... but not enough to matter.
I could talk about 10-ton phone, which is indeed a concern for many MANY people with home businesses... but hey, I signed up for that.
I could talk about a lot of things... but you know what? NONE of that matters. What matters is whether the work got done. And the work DIDN'T GET DONE.
This is why this blog is here; it is a place for me to say this: I fucked up. I wish I could say it won't happen again. What I CAN say is that I feel like an idiot, and I wonder who will see this, and when, and I want this to be a really REALLY rare occurrence. I guess we'll see. :-|
