What I learned this week, july 13 2008

This week I learned that sticking to a plan and leaving old habits isn't so easy.

Last week I stopped working for my employer and eventhough I had thought this out and am completely aware that what I want is to do something new and "non-corporate" this week I found myself applying for exactly the same type of job. I went on the internet and found jobs I know I can do and (4 realz) automatically I clicked on send, it was until one of them called asking to interview me that I truly realized what I was doing... setting myself up again.

NOTE: I have managed not to do that yesterday and today and instead, little by little, research on places, programs, etc that I do wish to work at. I know it's going to take time, but most of all (as always) to stop going back to my old habits. =)

Habits can be veeeery hard to break. Stick to it and make a habit out of not falling back into your old habit! It only takes 14 days to make it a habit.

Good luck on getting the job you want :)

....At least I think it's 14 days. My sister is now telling me that it's 28 >:-[

Thanks, I'm really trying, I guess the trick is spotting when you are about to fall back into them, and just slap your wrist... or something like that ;)

Breaking habits is the hard part. I wish you luck in finding a job that makes you happy.
