laziness or Goals...

I am trying to set goals for myself and in doing so I've learn very valuable lessons.

1 - If the goal results in me becoming accountable for someone else - Example in the office - I get the objective done as I don't want to let other people down or the team down.
2 - Creating goals for my own personal benefit, I tend to let it slide unless I'm held accountable.

I don't know why I do that to myself, I work hard for other people but can't muster the energy to finish anything for myself. I am not held accountable and I need to be. So as of right now, if anyone reads these, I am writing a book and should be scheduled to be finished (ie. first draft) done by end of November.

I can post my daily or weekly updates about the progress of that novel on my "Novel Pending" blog. If there is no updates, try and keep me accountable and send evil emails at me (iantorn@gmail.com) or my twitter (Ian_Torn) calling me out. If I hate disappointing others, shame me and get me back to the work table.

Now for more distractions before I get my nose down to work and earn my 9-5 pay check.

But first..... Baby Seals!

Value of Social Media

I am starting to learn a valuable lesson - Social Media is important.

I thought I could get away from that and not have to touch it all that much; I always thought "Hey, I don't need this. Social Media is for Extroverted people who want to blab on about nothing."

Ya, about that... I need to start blabbing about nothing more often it seems.

To those that know me, I am an introvert. I love to think, imagine, and reflect on everything. Those that don't know me, I believe, think I'm just anti-social and a hermit. Now I'm not saying being a hermit is a bad thing, it's just that I'm not anti-social. I just don't like large groups or feel that ranting about nothing is useful.

Apparently people learn a lot from rants about nothing. I'm not a psychiatrist, but some people are or at least have training in the field. Rants tell a lot about people. Probably it says a lot about me when I keep calling them rants, but I'm not sure what.

Going back to my first statement - The value of Social media.

I have been reading a pretty good book recently - A dance of Dragons. It's a pretty good tale so far, I do so love Tyrion.

 I have also been reading a fantastic book as well - The Introvert's Guide to Success in Business and Leadership By Lisa Petrilli. I am learning about how social media is one of the best ways to reach out as an introvert in the world of business. This is something that never actually clicked, mostly because I never knew how to properly use it so I threw it off as useless.

For all you introverts out there who wish to get at least a heading on to where to go to move up the ladder, I suggest you pick this book up. I am not yet done this book and already I have pulled some helpful knowledge.

Now I shall end today's post with the biggest and best celebrities on the internet.... Kittens.

Enjoy =D
