Yarg, new assigment due this week

My strategy prof likes to drop the bomb.

I enjoy my Thanksgiving weekend not noticing the late posting of the week's assignment.. which is due tomorrow. So I have to spend tonight reading what is probably 50 pages of theory, then creating something that is more structured that the mass of porridge that will be between my ears after all that reading and lack of sleep from last night.

I'll have to double check the due dates, maybe I can hand it in tomorrow....

Ok off to proof another assigment during lunch.

Thanks given

A nice long weekend is almost over, just doing some last minute reading for an assignment due tomorrow. Looking pretty good so I should go a grab some sleep. I think the caffeine is out of my system now from the post dinner coffees and teas.

I got a B+ on my last assignment on innovation, I kind of knew it was not going to be an A material turn in, I was really behind that week...

What I really have to get going on is the Independant Studies and catching up on my 1st year marketing course. Damn those all online courses! I started catching up last week, but it only took 2 hours to get all the reading done and most of it I had already learned in my other classes, so I'm not sure If I will ace my test this week (first online test by the way) but I guess I am ready for it. Now I just have to get that case study done as well.

I do notice that some MBA fatigue is setting in, it's been 5 weeks now, so I'm hoping that the new courses will reinvigourate me. I do need to keep trying to tweak the demands on my time and get a real system going. Luckily for me work is not crazy at the moment, but I need to get the other areas ship-shape before it does, on top of actual work, process must be looked at.

So let set some goals:

• Do at least 1 hour of reading every day (including note taking) - school
• Grab a few items from the pile of outstanding tasks and put them on deck for the week (personal/home)
• Set aside 30 minutes of admin time where I can go over what I did and my progress for the week (when? it needs to be a time when I am not distracted and not too tired.. aha, that would be never then....)
• Get to work by 8:00 am at least 3 times a week

Ok I could come up with some more important ones but I think that is fine for now. Any more and it would be one of those lists that I make that just get written and filed away.

Hmm I think that is enough for now....

First Post

Hello Readers of this blog! For now this is me typing to myself.

This blog will attempt to record the next few years of my life as I head into what I will now coin the 'murky years' where I am:

• Going back to do my MBA
• Getting ready for the birth of our second baby (not til March)
• Putting in a full days work
• Causually learning new languages
• Writing this blog (heh for now...)

It's late friday afternoon and things are a bit slow here so I will probably put a more complete first post in tonight, but quickly these are the goals I want to achieve in writing this blog:

• Chronicle the next while in my life (I do tend to repeat myself, I know)
• Tend to the urge to write something from time to time
• Push myself a bit more, I think the act of recording what I do will hopefully entice me to do more when given the opportunity. (Funny, how posterity can do something like that)
