keith’s new self

I’ve created a credo for my working life, inspired by Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art, David Allen’s Getting Things Done and my meditation practice. Many of these are ideals of course - things that I strive for, keeping in mind that it’s all an ongoing process.

I am a professional.

I am talented, and I am paid fairly for the work I do.

I don’t overwork, or expect others to do so.

When I sit down to work, I work. I dont procrastinate or allow insignificant things to distract me.

I am dependable - I am careful to make promises I know I can fulfill, and I always fulfill them.

I am pragmatic - I seek the solution that is as simple as possible, but no simpler.

I am disciplined - I understand that true velocity requires consistency, diligence, thoroughness and punctuality.

I preserve my sanity with a trusted system that ensures everything requiring my attention is captured and processed.

When I am working, I am psychically present, centered and grounded in my body, mindful of my body and my energy at all times.

When I am working my default emotional state is one of amusement, joy, enthusiasm, freedom.

I am passionately involved with my work but not attached to specific outcomes.

I am always looking to further develop my skills and improve how I do my work.
