It's definitely food for thought and provides a good checklist for determining if I'm doing real or fake work. Robert, very true. Tho playing in the puddles can be the "funnest" part, so much so that I forget where I was going! Douglas, have you discovered any tricks for getting out of your way? Off to take another stab at writing "Work for Glenda". My goal is to have something up by the day's end, even if it isn't perfect. You're welcome to hold me to that!

(rolls eyes) Gee, if we could figure out a cure for this, we'd be gazillionaires! Truthfully, the only way I've ever figured out how to motivate myself to do something, er, "less than fun" is to visualize the end state, y'know? Now THAT'S a fun thought! Sometimes ya just hafta step in the puddles to get across the street, y'know? Cheers! Why no, Glenda; that NEVER happens to me!

It sounds like writing the services page is “essential” work for you – something you’ve put off (for one reason or another) for 2.5 years! I sometimes find myself doing the same thing.

Real Work

Building relationships
Planning. Creating. Delivering. (These three go together. Always.)
Delegating
Building Trust
Maintaining Trust
Thinking about what’s possible.
Negotiating contracts

Take care!

John
