069 – Weekend work day

There is an immutable conflict at work in life and in business, a constant battle between peace and chaos. Neither can be mastered, but both can be influenced. How you go about that is the key to success. — Philip Knight

It’s been a weekend of work here. My Dad’s generation wouldn’t have recognised it as being work – there’s no sweat so there’s no work. Fortified with coffee and potato crisps I’ve spent the last couple of days building web sites for customers. Some tv wandered past – I didn’t watch. Some cds were played – I didn’t listen. So, where to from here? I climb into my head and wrestle code and negotiate with the web hosting people and juggle this and jungle that. And when I finally climb back out of create mode it’s time for hot coffee and real food. I’m tired and ready for a hot shower and a sleep. It might not be sweaty work, Dad, but it’s work nevertheless.

Manifesto
41. Every day use your mind. It is the greatest technology ever created.
44. Every day remember how far you have come.
50. Every day has an ending.

    Thanks, Trevor, it’s always good to be able to sit and work things through, and it’s such a good cause. It’s a bit like reading one of those thriller novels, you can’t put it down because you want to see how it turns out in the end. It’s all good.
