Remember Thursday the twelveth?



















              Ah the joy of the finished project.

Nothing compares with seeing your creation come to fruition. It brings you to a point where you tend to forget all those hours of detail work with the raw metal under the ol' Eco-friendly helical green light bulbs.

You tend to notice the power bill up about 30% when you put a couple of weeks of cutting, grinding, sawing, drilling and welding on your utility tab. Even more if you are of the perfectionist persuasion.
I say that in a friendly sort of way. It's OK to be a perfectionist, you got your pride involved and that's a good thing.

This quickie tool cart project came as a challenge for my self imposed two week in process policy. Yup just two weeks ago I started the working phase of this job. I finished it up last night. It seems funny you miss some little imperfections until the paint dries, like that stubborn little BB that casts a shadow in the evening sunset. You chip it loose and where does it fall? In a corner or crevice! I'm a tellin' ya, it's "Murphy's Law".

It seemed the little details bit my butt all day long on the Thursday the 12th, only to realise there is still a delivery on Friday the 13th, and due date on 9 / 11. Go figure.

Post Peak Blues?

When people are moving or working toward a goal, their lives have a purpose. But when the task is completed, a sense meaninglessness often sets in. The time of triumph can become a time of mild depression.
Here are some suggestions to help you overcome these "post peak blues".

1. Make plans plans beyond the completion of the immediate goal, or set aside some time to critique and plan any improvements you may want on your success the next time.

2. Get involved with another activity immediately, Do not dwell on your blues. Setting new goals or the next step to reach your overall dream, will help keep your mind off the negative feelings.

3. Accept the feeling of being let down as temporary,an absolutely normal sign that you are emotionally set free to be even more creative for your next goal.
