Thanksgiving Mental Housecleaning

I've been floundering lately, professionally and personally. It's not that things are going badly, so much as that I know things could be going better. (And, yes, financially and professionally, things could always be going better.)

Instead of taking the bull by the horns, I usually just go sleep or eat or otherwise avoid the issue. I know this isn't the optimal way to go about things, and it's why I'm largely dissatisfied with my life at the age of 29, but it's the case nonetheless. For everything that's going well, there are three or four more things I know I could improve upon.

Given the buzz surrounding PodCamp, STBD and podcasting in general, I figured I might be alone on this train, but it turns out I'm not. My good friend and fellow tech pioneer Chris Brogan was lamenting the very same issues on his blog this past weekend. I have a feeling holidays bring about introspection, and sometimes we have trouble avoiding the obvious.

Fortunately, this led Chris to take action, and it's led me to do the same. I'm doing it differently, but it's being done nonetheless. I won't bore you with details because that's not why you come here, but enough of you who do come here are my professional friends and I thought you might like to know that I'm kicking myself back into gear.

To everyone: happy belated thanksgiving and best wishes for a bright, sunny December!
