The theme today is loss of focus. Two months have come and gone since the 1718 project began in earnest. Two months without the glimmer of a job on the horizon. Two months of research and note taking on the book. Work on the blog, work on the website, no communication with the external forces that will justify the project. All of this combines into high summer ennui. Beth (my wife) was on vacation last week, and we actually made a little headway with photos and some work on the website. This put me off my routine, and then the doubts started to creep in. Who would be interested in this project; am I kidding myself, etc.etc.
Anyway, I have a new job hunt plan. I have a bunch of books to read and process- both in substance and methodolgy. And some new PR attempts to implement. I have the resources to last another sixty days before the creditors break down the doors. So this week, the first week of the dog days of August, is my week to recapture my focus.
See you next time.
