The easiest thing is the hardest thing

ShoeMoney (can you tell I’m a fan) often talks about respecting a company or person because they just did something. Don’t spend all your time analyzing - do work.

Such a simple thing and yet for me sometimes the hardest thing.

I called this blog “Solo Programmer” because I work alone. Partially by choice but mostly because I don’t have anyone I know who would be a good partner (though that’s changing somewhat). When you work alone you have to decide on a regular basis exactly what it is you should be working on.

Too often lately I waste away me day reading blogs, playing poker, reading forums and trying to figure out what I want to work on next.

I started this blog in part as an effort to motivate myself. I was going to start off the New Year with a new dedication to productive work. From the date of the first post and the frequency of the posts you can see how well that’s working. So now I’m going to start of February with a new dedication to productive work.

We’ll see how that goes.
