so the tenet is that once you become comfortable at what you do, you need to start moving on, because what you are doing is no longer a challenge... so you need to keep growing.

I think it has something to do with the increased sense of urgency which I would assume is a good motivator - [which I think is a reason people procrastinate, because nothing motivates like a deadline that is 24 hours away] - it keeps you sharp [we hope] and thinking and moving and whatever (but as a blanket statement, that doesn't work because some people just don't care about anything and have no sense of urgency and there for are never really motivated to do anything.)

so when it gets easy, you get lax - because it becomes mundane...

sometimes I think I'd like a job that I can work 10 hours a day which doesn't require me to be stressed or to deal with idiots or to produce anything...

then I think... how boring.

I think I really want to be a carpenter when I grow up - because that would be cool - potential injuries aside. there is just something totally satisfying about building stuff...

the only problem is, I read that the average salary of a carpenter working independently is somewhere around 30k/year without benefits... at this point in my life I don't think I could make that kind of life change.

but who knows... a little bit of planning goes a long way.

I'm stopping my train here... I need to get back to work.
