Life And Other Distractions

Posted on by

For the next couple of days I will probably be a bit distracted. Some of today is happening because of a change in our nation and a desire to watch history unfold. Part of it is the recent passing of a family member and some of the steps needed to get through that.

But, in spite of that I made a plan to write a blog entry each day, and I plan to follow through. The big question is: “How can I connect this to programming?” Well, I’ll go with the advice of keep making progress, even if it doesn’t feel like much. At least make the attempt to get something done – either learn something, or work on a project. It is pretty rare that there isn’t at least a few minutes each day to focus on making an accomplishment.

So, today might not be a great blog entry, but it is an entry. It is progress toward my goal, and it has a useful point.

Just Keep Plugging Away, Even When You Don’t Feel It.

Today is one of those days that I am struggling to get much done. I debated if I should even write a blog post today. But, here we are.

As I stated before, come up with an achievable goal in the first place and then do what you can to make it happen. I will cut myself some slack since this won’t be a great post. But, you know what? A post is better than no post. If you let yourself get away with missing your goals, then it becomes easier the next time to do the same. Before you know it, the goals vanish and your progress goes with it.

So, make some effort to get toward your goal. It might not be anything major, but at the end of the day even a little bit counts.

You can do it! Just keep at it one step at a time. Results will happen.
