2008 Targets...

...the end to my Fire & Ice script is ready...unfortunate, as I call it...that it did not need time to be there. Will post here in a day or too..one of my friends had actually asked me to take time in figuring out the end...and I wanted to do it...but for the climax....sometimes you don't mean what you write and you don't want to write what you really mean...we will come back to this again.

Hmm...itz that day - Friday today! Looks promising - just one task in hand to get over and done with, which is the transition plan write up. Yesterday, I uploaded my goals online for the year 2008. This time, there is a lot of stress on goalsheets in my organization. Oh boy, I really will have to do stretch assignments to be able to reach to all of them..it is a little difficult when you have changed your role and with no one around to tell you what your goals should be, you simply derive them from those of the big boss. I did what I could do the best, rest I leave it on the Big Boss to review and comment.

This year I want to work smarter...a promotion is definitely not in the cards (with 2 in hand in last 2.5 years) - but proving myself in a scenario where there already are a plenty of seasoned professionals, is going to be a task. I am only waiting to move up the learning curve faster than I can and get going with an active account. To talk about moving up, I don't think I have even started doing anything about it. Though I am learning through the tasks given to me, but need to give that time to study the basics of T-toolkit and understand the nuances of effectiveness in transitions.

The kind of feedback I get these days is not funny - good in a way... like getting thrashed because that's the way to get chiseled/refined. Guess the comfort zone was way too long in the previous role... had almost perfected what I was doing and so that urge of knowing more and being more effective had taken a backseat somewhere.

Ready to accept the change in role, ready to make a start here...hope the fire keeps burning...if it doesn't, check me please!!! Like everyone else, would often like to be reminded that this ain't much, you gotta do more! And more! Don't we all like when we work hard?

As an exercise, it might be a good idea to keep reminding yourself your goals for this year - through anyway.....reminders...notes...scribbling...visiting the goals online....so that anytime you feel directionless, you know what to do and where to do. And why wait for another day, I guess we will take our first step right today for one of them.

Ahmmm...so much for self motivation!!!! Buck up girlie!!!
