Work and Attitude

Work and a personal attitude are very much related. Once you have the right attitude, you work will potentially become the best work.
Workstation
How do you motivate yourself?
This has been a question for myself too. Recently I bought a new laptop, a working table, a 20″ LCD monitor, 2 office chairs and buy office supplies, overall cost me more than RM4K already. Do I feel motivated? Not exactly, spending money does not motivate you to earn more money. But to know what you’re getting in the near future is what going to motivate you. Like, salary :)

How to spend time
This is the question to the freelancer, or S.O.H.O (Small Office Home Office). I used to be quite time spoiling person, I don’t have a good time management, until months back I understand that, time = money for freelancers. So how do you spend time wisely? System, or some say Systematically. Right, do a thing at one time. Once you practice enough of this, time suddenly has too much on hand :)

Anyway, Merry Christmas, have a great rest tonight and listen to God’s story :) I need to off my seat on my workstation too :)

Thing to do

Basketball
After browsing through my blog entry by entry, I notice that one thing I did not do for months – Exercise :) I used to be very healthy and quite active, but lately I’ve been feeling sleepy from time to time, no shit! I woke up late in the morning and wanted to take an afternoon nap around 2.00pm and 6.00pm too.
Fat
I can make use of a used treadmill. Here at hometown, there are lots of garden and park for me to do a short and simple jogging and some exercise, but finding time out to work it out is another questions.

Freelance life is on the desk at the moment :) Of course, not for long, we need a better plan soon to overcome everything about freelance soon :)

Will need to fly again

How I wish I could have a mobile homes. I don’t really like to travel, but I like to be in different places and learn about the culture and all that. It’s fun to explore more than what I already know.

Tomorrow, I’ll be flying to Medan, Indonesia again. This time, it will be almost a month time. In this one month time I think I can pick up a lot more than where I am here now, as I’ll have more motivation and more… Discipline :) There are currently 2 project on going in my hand; and I think there are a few more on my girlfriend hand and will need to pass to me for the back-end coding. Time to get busy tomorrow :)

Don’t spoil your client

I used to work quite fast. My record of coding a medium graphical WordPress theme was half and hour, without browser testing yet of course. So normal static html can be faster, since I would use php include for the header and footer. My contracted company has been spoiled by my speed of work. Usually I will complete the project within 2 hours to 2 days earlier for them to review it before launching. So last minute work happen more often after the first time.
HNTML editing
After much consideration and the situation I am in now, I figure it is my time not to get last minute work, especially those need to be done overnight or late night. I don’t want to wait until last minute even Blue Cross Blue Shield NC insurance can’t help. Tonight I did a bad thing, giving them a last minute completion.

I mean, handling last minute project is fine, if it is a one-time deal. But for a long run, the web developer is the one who got stucked.
