Leaving it All on the Keyboard – It’s Tiring
I firmly believe that the best way to do anything is to give it everything you have. All of it. All the time. As they say, Leave it all on the track. Do that, and you'll never wonder if you could have done more. Never. That's a really nice feeling. The problem is that to do this is very tiring. Very.
I've been running full-tilt this week, and it's taking it's toll on me. I'm really tired. I was really tired this morning. But I kept at it. That is one of the really nice things I learned in grad school - you can keep going after you think you can't, you just have to know your own limits.
And today, I have to say, I wrote some great code for my web app because I was running towards a 'finish line' of the QA team getting ahold of it this afternoon. Well... they didn't end up starting to test the app, which in the end, was fine. I needed the entire day to finally fix up the last of the new features. Difficult. But worthwhile.
In a few hours, I'll be rested (a bit) and I'll be able to look back on today and realize that there's nothing I could have done to get more done today. I got an enormous amount done. Useful, nice things - all.
I just need a little rest.
And a nice weekend.
