Getting my shit together I often feel the urge of writing a couple of lines, and now I've did it many times in many different places. If I happen to read again what I wrote in the past, e.g. this phlog, the picture i get is that I keep saying the same things, over and over, like I'm obsessed with it. Which is probably just the reality. I'd like to have some things done. I've got some sort of wish-list that grows over time, as I notice that people around me get to have something beautiful I desire. We can say I'm gelous: not of what they own, but of what they achieve! My achievements feel so poor lately! I'm very aware of the fact that I can reach enlightenment only gradually, and only one step at the time. To begin with, I'd like to get back into the habit of writing guides and article on things I figure out. For example, because of my day job I often end up writing shell scripts, and I got pretty good ad it. It is quite difficult to get it right! But then, what if I wrote a guide with some best practices I figured out? I spoke about this idea with some fellows on #meta, and I was encouraged to write my guide. Yet another thing on my todo list then? But there's more: I feel motivated when my stuff is actually appreciated by someone, and this might be the leverage I need. There's a fact, however, that I should take in account. Or several facts. 1- my need for perfection kills my efforts! I can't get something done because I keep making it perfect! Fuck I hate this trait of mine! 2- I should really tidy up my things. Get my shit together, as the title says. Which is son of the first probelm, in a sense. If I start by tidying it up, I might never end, as I will strive for perfection. I'll try to follow some small goals, as I know it's the only way to get something done.
