Getting crap done
I got a lot done today. A shitload of stuff. Here's a brief rundown:
- Got up at 8.30
- Wrote a quick essay (not for school)
- Finished an article (to be posted here tomorrow)
- Left to go shopping at 10.30
- Returned at 12.30 with supplies for the rest of the day which consisted of:
- Tearing up the front lawn and sifting the soil from the grass removed (4hrs+)
- Taking pictures of my items to be sold on eBay
- Extensive motherboard testing
- Wrote a letter of recommendation
I don't really feel any sense of accomplishment or pride, though. I rested for maybe… 90 minutes throughout the course of the day (minus 15 minute meal breaks). Thing is, I don't feel happy about getting all that crap done. Relief, maybe. But even that not so much.
I think I'm not feeling happy because the things listed above are things that I didn't want to do. They were things other people wanted me to do for them. I got a lot done, but I feel like I wasted the day, in a way, and I still have a few things left to do, and it's nearly 11pm.
I'm hoping for an equally productive day tomorrow, and hopefully it'll be a little more enjoyable and rewarding. Hard work is not its own reward. Hard work that you want to do, is. I just need to get this other crap out of the way so I can get to the hard work that I actually want to do.
