I got a planner about 3 months ago and barely written in it or used it to it’s purpose. My friend swears by it and he says and actually looks like he is more productive with work and life in general. I just don’t think it will help me much, but it will be a task that I do for the week to see how it will help me.

I think the biggest thing that I struggle with is deciding which things are more important than others. I tend to do things that I feel that is important at the time and then realize that I should have done that thing differently and so on. So this week I will make some goals for the way I plan to use the planner and report back later to see if it is worth me using the planner for my life.

Guidelines:

1. Finish Goals, Vision, and Mission that the planner suggest: I have done this in the past and have a good understanding of what each of them means to me, but we will see how it goes.

When I wrote this blog post I felt that I was too strong with words, but at times vague of what I was trying to get across. I have talked to a couple of people about this and feel that I need to clarify somethings. This is in no way taking back what I said, but giving a better explanation of what I feel about jobs in general.

When we were all young we didn’t worry about anything. The world just went and we started to grow up into people who were curious about whatever we saw. We kept on growing and growing and started to interact with people at our schools and neighborhoods and our identity was shaping up before our eyes. We also recognized what was right and wrong by our societal definitions, our parents and family, and our environment.

We then start to recognize a pattern in school of where we will be getting real comfortable with the status quo and bam we were told to exceed to the next level of education that required us to change schools, sometimes friends, and to develop a new identity for ourselves. I don’t tell too many people about my first couple of months of starting my professional career. I think whenever I tell people that I realized the way I see work they look at me crazy. There are people from the bat who get what I am saying, but I feel that I am talking to a brick wall when I do try to explain it. I pretty much realize that work is not really exciting at all and that many people, not all settle for that type of lifestyle to the point that they will live their lives accordingly until the day they die. I started to see it in the young people and was so obvious with the older people who had no hobbies, didn’t like to travel, and didn’t find happiness being away from work. Again, I am not saying that I am better than anybody because I like do and try different things, I probably got this from my childhood, but it really sucks seeing people that you admire make excuses about their own life not going the way they want it to.

About the job question.
