Day 9(ish)
Some of you have noticed that last week I stopped posting screenshots of my clock in the morning. Some of you have asked me about it over the last few days, and that is a huge part of why I am actually up this early today.
This last week has been a rough one at work so all it took was one night of not sleeping well to get me off track. From that point it was just a difficult cycle to break, with working hard and late, then working some over the weekend. I deserved to sleep in a little with all that going on.
The previous few sentences are the excuses I told myself to make it okay. See, I knew that I wasn't following through with my goal for this month and I didn't feel good about it, so I tried to make it better by telling myself these things. However, the truth is that I was being lazy again.
Our whole department is working hard and late most days this week. Many people around the world go through busy and difficult periods in their jobs. This is nothing new - I'm not going through anything unique. One of my friends said something to me this week about how the key to success is being able to stick with your goal (whatever it may be) through the difficult times. It's true, and it really resonated with me.
So, I got to bed at a reasonable time last night to allow me 7-8 hours of sleep and I'm up again early this morning. If you notice me slipping again, please message me and ask how I'm doing, it may be just what I need.
