Hello.

In today’s diary entry, I will share with you in real time how I have been continuously dropping the ball in my work life in the past couple of weeks.

Let’s get into it. But before then, as usual:

In this entry

• Catch Up

• Work Update

• Work Lesson

• Excerpts from the week.

CATCH UP

It’s been so long that I don’t even know what to share in this catch-up section. In my previous diary entry, I told you about becoming a professional writer and completing a certification course- both of which are great for my career.
I got up to other things as well. Things like reading; I finished a really good novel in one day which reminded me so much of the old me, and also compelled me to read more fiction novels to get me back into the ‘reading groove’. So please recommend your favourite titles as I continue to attempt to get my groove back.
I am also reading a great book by A.W Tozer, it is called “The Knowledge of the Holy”, and it is such a beautiful book. I sometimes wonder at what sort of man A.W Tozer was and if he had any earthly affections whatsoever.
Nigeria had the first leg of her general elections, and it was…quite eventful. The second and final leg holds this Saturday and I hope for the best.

WORK UPDATE

In the past month, I have grown a lot at work and am now able to understand and speak using the applicable technical terms.
One thing I am making sure of, is that I pace myself and not place myself under any undue pressure. Although this can be tricky.
I have also raked in a couple of good reviews that have gone beyond reviews to yield fruit.

WORK LESSON

I fear that I am becoming the stereotypical Gen Z when it comes to my work. I deliver results, stay up to date on work and other important things but I just do them.
I do them without any form of structure and that is troubling.
In the past couple of weeks, I have tried and failed to build a structure and follow a routine. This is a cause for concern for me because I believe that a rote life is better suited for success and impact.
The lesson in this is simply that I have not given up on achieving this and continue to experiment with different potential structures and routines.
I am not yet victorious in the ‘battle’ of sticking to a routine, but I am consistently recording victories in the journey of building that routine.
The goal is to not be satisfied with ordinary even when ordinary is producing results.
So, this weekend, I will once again plan my days in hopes that I find one routine/schedule that sticks.

EXCERPTS FROM THE WEEK

Unfortunately, there are none. I spent the last few weeks trying to secure my future, but let’s not forget the ungodly number of hours I spent on twitter (very soon, I will resign to my life of mystery and delete my twitter 😅)
