On staying motivated
Long hours of work, vacation is never reaching, you enter an expansion phase of your start-up and you get under a pile of paper work, office relocation, and amazingly get more work to do. With all the goings, it keeps on getting harder to work, takes longer to come up with ideas, and after a while you find your work repeating itself. Not to mention mind-blocks and laziness attacks.
Friends usually ask me about how I cope up and keep doing it, it’s been a year and 3 months now 15 months of overtime if you will. But the truth is, it’s a bless to live in such a great Country, really.
A drive to Dubai is enough to get you back on track and get you motivated. Nah, not the traffic, you see the changes and how fast real estate projects are shaping up, the amount of changes in a drive to Dubai (at least twice a week) just gets you thinking about the number of people who are working around the clock to make the projects get realized.
Turn on the TV, and you actually see good shows, good movies, and just makes you think, man, even the people at TV programming have done a great job, man, they’re bringing some real wanted and fun stuff around.
I buy a “Wheels” magazine and find out the new Cars, and the designs that just lets you say, oh man, people are working so hard to pull of such great rides.
Now, motivation is solved, but with the amount of pressure and workload, inspiration and being creative all the time has become the catch. Workin’ on that with a new hobby that’s been working kind of well, building a “Car Computer” with a custom made interface built on an “iMedia” Linux build. So getting my hands dirty with wires, screws, and oh my, I haven’t done that for such a long time, specially coding and programming interfaces like “Wheel” buttons to control Audio, Integrating an iPod with the system with a touch screen interface. Okay, just thought of this, I might post the steps and updates on this project, neat.
