Peaks and valleys

For the last two weeks I have not written as much as I normally do since I have to work on the server to make sure this and our other websites remain online. We had 450,000 files on the server and were informed that we could have a maximum of 50,000.

It has been quite a lot of work including plenty of programming to use common files from only one place. This morning, after many breakthroughs and disappointments, I learned that the number of files is now less than 30,000.

The challenge is that not all the sites are working and most sites including this one are not working the way I like them to work. So the work continues but at least the site will continue to be up and you will not get any major downtime.

At times there may be minor problems as I continue to reprogram the sites….

The point is that in any project there will be peaks and valleys. There are times that things go really well and times when you feel dejected. It is important to understand this and persist even when you feel dejected and enjoy times of elation.

You need to keep a positive attitude and enjoy the journey as most of your time is spent on the getting there. As soon as you have reached one goal, you can celebrate but soon need to move on to the next goal.

One important thing to remember as you traverse the peaks and valleys is to to take time off at times and rest by doing something different. I go for short walking meditations and it’s interesting how much more efficient I become when I stop thinking about the project at hand and allow my unconscious mind to work on the challenge while I do something different.

I find even writing these posts help detach my mind from the programming task ahead and help me come with an optimal solution to the challenge.
