Interested in work again
Heather asked me tonight if I was interested in work again. I had worked until eight trying to get a client project working, and was planning on working more in the evening. It's a welcome change from the previous month where I felt I was going through the motions of working. Yes, work was being completed. Yes, it was done well. But, no, my heart wasn't particularly in it. And, no, I wasn't particularly interested in any of it. When my motivation for doing a project is not to disappoint someone else, perhaps it's best to move on to another project.
Kinda relates back to the "program happy" mentality that 37signals tries to foster.
Happily, I can say that, yes, I am interested in work again. Since the surgery from last week went so well, I'm relieved, happy and engaged in life again. I saw my nutritionist again last week, too, and adjusted my diet a bit. Perhaps the adjustments have also contributed to this better sense of well-being.
