BHH, Thursday 27th February
First, the next Blogger’s Happy Hour will be this Thursday, 27th February. Darlyne insists that we all come ready to discuss the Uganda Best of Blog Awards. We need to pave a way forward. Tumwijuke, it would be great to have you there.
Global Voices
I’ve been informed that Global Voices may be looking for a new Uganda Editor. I’ll pass on the details as I get them.
Moving On
No more bollocks – Season 1.
Ever feel like you’re simply too stressed or too tired or too exhausted to do some of the things you’re supposed to do? Well, that’s how I feel right now. At first I thought it was because I was taking on too much, but after some critical months-long analysis, I realised it’s because I’m simply failing to prioritize my goals / objectives and achievements.
Sometimes we get so caught up in dealing with minor issues that the major things get left out sometimes and before we know it, several very important aspects of our lives are being left behind. We get seemingly busier and busier and yet the reality is that we’re getting less work done and not meeting any of our targets.
I don’t think we should spend our lives scurrying around like mice dealing with all sorts tiny things and forget that there is a bigger picture. Especially if your livelihood or dreams depend on the achievement of the bigger picture.
So I’m taking a fairly drastic line of action. Well, not too drastic, but it’s been the culmination of several seperate Kaizen things I’ve been working on, and it’s time to bring them into one big package.
I’m going to set up a completely different routine from what I’m used to, starting small and gradually increasing the challenges and reducing on the clutter. I’ll try it out in small goal-driven chunks of 7 days and major goal driven chunks of 30 days and see how effective it is.
Obviously, breaking habits takes more than 30 days, but if I can evaluate it’s effectiveness within the next thirty days, then I can decide whether to stick with it, or revise it for the better. But I’m not going back to my old routine, it’s too dreary, non effective and I’ve massively lost out on my ability to produce and achieve goals on major tasks.
Once I’ve worked on the finer details, I’ll clue all y’all in.
Vague, I know, but, like I said earlier, no more bollocks.

Love the direction you are taking: POD – Priority, Order, Discipline..
So that’s what POD means.
Well, I’m not sure if that’s the direction I’m taking, but I sure as heck ain’t going backwards.

Someone once said, if you need more hours in your day, buy someone else’s time. What they meant is, if you can’t do it all, outsource, or hire.
Mind manager? Software… much as I’m a techie, I once discovered software can complicate things instead of making it easier.
