2013 !!  Phew !!  What a year !!

This blog "Tony's Other Blog" started as my tech blog, but then I moved that to a specific tech blog, and I always intended to diarise the things that interest me but do not fit into my normal daily routine.

So as I sit and reflect on the past year I realise that yet again I failed to be consistent in spending a reasonable amount of time on things other than work.

What did happen this year ?  I changed from full time contracting with UniPhi to being a reseller of UniPhi under a new business called Managing by Project. Somewhere in amongst that I gained a qualification with the AIPM and I'll need to update Linked-In with that info in the new year.

I spent way too much time working in my business interests and failed to work on them. A mantra that I have held out to anyone who would listen for the last 20 or more years, and here I am not listening to those words of wisdom. Of course, I do not pretend that I said them first, but I do think it is a must-do.

What will 2014 hold ?  Who knows, but I am going to really make an effort to prioritise better, document everything instead of trying to keep it all in my head, and to spend a better percentage of my awake time outside of my business interests.

Does this really interest anyone else ?  Probably not, but I have always thought that writing something down makes it more possible.

So my thought for 2014 is "Make it Happen" and my reflection on 2013 is that it was a good grounding for next year.

Seasons greetings to all that adhere to that philosophy and Happy New Year to those that follow the same calendar as me.
