Day 13: The Lull

Things I learnt today (or, at least, was re-acquainted with):

1. He who rides a tiger cannot dismount

I enjoyed relaxing and chilling out yesterday - which meant I ended up copping out on swimming this morning. Even the slightest break can make it harder to return to the saddle, so to speak. I did do 90mins of exercise but it was a struggle and maintaining momentum in other areas was equally difficult (I intended to apply for three jobs - I applied for one, badly).

2. Moving Slowly is Still Moving

I have a problem. I think, unless I'm hitting something at full force and maximum velocity, I'm being lazy. There is a point to gradual development, though. The aforementioned job application took up all my day on account of elaborate selection criteria. As a result of my stupid three application goal, I rushed the rest of the process. I wrote a very bizarre cover letter and I fear I may have submitted incomplete information. I had over two weeks left to submit the application for that job. If I hadn't been so gung-ho, I could have improved my chances significantly. We live and learn.

3. Write this Stuff Earlier in the Day

I'm fricking tired. As a result, this blog post is half-arsed. I need to put it a little bit earlier in the schedule.

4. Community is Awesome

Yep. What a show!
