It's been a little over a month since my last post, on rethinking my life.
After the initial post I sat back and took stock of what I was doing now and where I saw my life heading if it remained the same, it was immediately apparent that something had to change. So, first things first I set myself two immediate goals.
- Get out of my current job!
- Structure my daily life.
Goal 1 is simple, I hate my current job, although there are aspects of it that I like, the general day to day work was pure data entry, and my god! do I hate repetitive work.
Goal 2 is also fairly simple, I need to create a simple, flexible, day to day, week to week, short term plan. My hope was that such a plan would allow me to keep track of just exactly what I was doing and would hopefully give a little structure to my life.
Having set out these 2 simple goals, it was time to make headway towards them. I will post in the coming days about the results, they really have helped!

It’s no smoking day tomorrow (9th March) and according to reports, Andrew Lansley the Secretary of State for Health is expected to announce a new law that will ban all branding from tobacco products.
Under the new plans, tobacco manufactures will no longer be able to brand their products, although the government health warnings will remain. It is also expected that the new law will also ban tobacco display units from retail stores.

If you have been here before you may be wondering where the Titanium posts have disappeared too. Well, being as the last post I made in an 'ongoing' series of posts about Appcelerator's Titanium was over 5 months ago. It's pretty clear that it was an unsuccessful series of posts. Anywho, I am clearing out the vast amount of posts (2) and taking back the blog, to blog about something else, or not, we'll see how it goes...
I have been struggling for the last couple of years to truly get to grips with everything my life entails. I've spent a long time just wandering through my life as a disinterested spectator, neither worrying about nor caring about certain aspects of it. I could say that the quagmire I now find myself in is a result of my taking the eye off of the ball, but upon reflection, I'm not sure I ever caught sight of the ball in the first place.
(I could go into more detail here, as some of it would be interesting, but most of it is personal and perhaps even detrimental to my social and professional standing. so you will just have to take my word for it)
I have been pondering then, on what exactly my problem is, and I found my answer!
'I do not now, nor have I ever had, a plan.'
Having come to this (not so) startling conclusion, what then is my plan?
Well, that I am still working on, but as the title of this post suggests, I have to re-evaluate my life as it is now and plan for what I wish it to be in the future.
