How To Stop Screwing Yourself

June 8, 2014 by Jan Kearney

Computer says, “No”

computer says no...This week can ony be described as a battle of wills between me and my old lappy.  The time is coming soon to replace him.

Soon…

I’m hanging on and on because I really don’t want to face Windows 8, nor go through the hell to find receipts/product codes etc. for software I have on here.

Add the lappy battling to managing (once again) to kill my blog.  The joys of conflicting plugins and trying to find out one at a time who the culprit is…

…when you have 50+ installed AGAIN  (stop playing with them Jan!)

Despite the battles, I have been more productive than usual (although that todo list doesn’t seem to be getting any shorter!)  I am very behind on the article writing challenge – behind more than I thought I would be.

I’ll keep going regardless, today is video Sunday.

The several hours spent scanning and rescanning the beast whilst editing a guide on self esteem earlier this week has prodded me into quite a bit of introspection.   So, as computer once again said no – this time to pluging in the webcam, it would be easy for me to make another excuse not to post.   I am very good at giving myself excuses not to do MY stuff.

Instead, I’ve used it as a prompt to dig out this Tedx Talk I was watching earlier in the week.  It really resonated with me and my “stuck again” feeling.  It’s just over 20 minutes long, grab a beverage of your choice and watch.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

About Jan Kearney

I believe that every business, no matter how small or how local can use the power of the web to gain more customers. I offer no bull coaching and mentoring so small business owners can strategically put the web to work for their business. I've been called a "compass" and a "navigator" and probably a few more names that aren't suitable for a profile!

    I refuse to get Windows 8 too. I’m looking at a new computer and Ill be getting Windows 7…or til Microsoft gets smart and makes a new update to Windows 8…cause it’s awful.

    I love that video by the way. I’ve seen her do other videos and she’s so blunt and to the point. I think she has soem very valid points, especially about “fine”. I can so relate to what she’s getting at. After seeing this, it reminded me I don’t want to be fine anymore. Time to kick it up a notch. I may have to share this one on my blog!

      I’d never seen her before Misty – stumbled on her last week. The lady speaks sense!

      Get kicking Misty! You’re wonderful, amazing… not fine 🙂
