Sometimes it's a good idea to sit down and just think. I did just that the other day and as my mind wandered I started thinking about what I'm good at – what I like doing. It struck me that I should try to push my aspirations and ideas towards these things. So here are some of my thoughts, in a simple old-fashioned list. No Waffle: - I'm good at making things neat and tidy. - I like procedure, order and outlines. - I like documents that follow conventions. My conventions. - I like implementing systems which are written down in detail. - I like designing paperwork, but not using other peoples. - I like stationary. A lot. - I like being outdoors and doing visual, manual work. - I like pretty things – stuff that is clean and functional, but looks nice too. - I like structures and schedules. - I like teaching, an awful lot. - I'm good at writing detailed plans & orders. - I enjoy writing documentation. - I like talking. - I like meta-stuff Writing these down just now was a rather enlightening experience. It seems I'm rather a perfectionist, at least when it comes to paperwork and organization. It's all rather at odds to my fairly laid-back attitude to things. I guess I'm a secret perfectionist.",
