"Excuses are the tools with which persons with no purpose in view build for themselves great monuments of nothing." - Steven Grayhm
The week of my life I will never forget was last week, and this week, when it comes to goal setting, I did set goals, but when it comes to actually achieving them, I go rogue, listen to music, and the goals to be achieved daily and weekly go down the drain.
I've been in training to learn how to use drag and drop content management services like Wix, WordPress, SquareSpace, and others; I'm already trained, but the assignments and projects to do always follow the training, and if those aren't completed, you can't move on to the next class, and that's where I got hooked; I haven't finished my assignments in two weeks, making it one of the most unproductive weeks I've ever had.
I've come to know there is no excuse in life, and thats true, but common, because I feed my excuse daily, and I believe that's why it affects my work and doesn't make me productive in granting my requests.
It's a new month now, and I've buckled my belt and tightened it even more. The goals must be met and achieved.
Another unforgetable part of this last week was the unavailability of cash, which is still crushing the commercial life out of the Nigerian financial system and affecting everyone. We are struggling to even withdraw cash, and as if that's not sad enough, imagine withdrawing just $10 at the ATM and having been charged $2 for it. It's much worse in some places, and this has affected my offline work too. Many have resolved to online banking, but not every roadside seller is using POS and can take cashless transactions. Thank God, it is now better; it was another thing that affected me for the entire last week.
[The Federal University]
Presently found a solution, went to a Federal University of Technology in my city, where there is constant power supply and Wi-Fi, laid my work bare for two days, and I'm sure before Monday, goals are met and achieved, and the first quarter of this year didn't just go by unachieved.
