Facing a new week

Posted June 8th, 2009

How do you start your week? Do you hit the ground running excited by all of the opportunities that wait for you or do you drag your feet at the prospects of another Monday?

I’m playing with something we’re working on to promote Chad Fowler’s The Passionate Programmer and I ran across this quote of his.

“If you treat your projects like a race you’ll get to the end a lot faster than if you treat them like a prison cell. Create movement. Be the one who pushes. Don’t get comfortable. Always be the one to ask, ‘but what can we do right now.’”

Personally, I think Oprah should book Chad. His advice is consistently concrete, sensible, and easily applied.

Happy Monday.
