All the little things

I’ve been mulling over an article I read in Psychology today yesterday after finding a link to it on Ian’s blog.  Identifying with a lot of these traits. But not all. So I believe there is hope for me yet.

Getting into the zone has long been my way of delivering results. If I don’t have pressure (preferably tremendous pressure) I don’t deliver. I just get lazy and push all actions back to the last possible moment. Deadlines drive me to deliver.

I’ve long since noticed this and used it to my advantage. I assume responsibilities for all sorts of projects and tasks to keep me occupied. I pick up new hobbies if need be (the most recent photography) and delve into them. The next project intended to guarantee focus for me for the next couple of years is an executive MBA course at Reykjavik University. Funnily enough, I´m also hoping that doing a little soul searching as I believe is mandatory while working through the courses will help me kick this habit to some degree. There’s some irony to that!
