So yesterday, I talked about a trick to upgrade my windows. Well, I spent some time, finally got it the OS up and running, only to find that my SAP system running on top of it wouldn’t start. So I started to go even further down the rabbit hole. I tried upgrading the kernel, checking user environment variables, and on and on… finally, after dumping a couple of hours into this, a big realization hit me.
What’s the point of updating the OS? this is an old system, it works fine, and the only issues are that dropbox doesn’t work on it and the cloud connector can’t be installed. I have plenty of other systems, so this exercise is trivial, and certainly does NOT move me toward my goal.
What’s the point of this random story? stay focused on what is important. It’s fun to do something random, and if you tried you might find a way to justify it. But at the end of the day, if the activity isn’t moving you toward your goal, it’s moving you away. Upgrading my old systems to a “newer” OS, has no impact on building my business, improving my life, or making me smarter. It just served to waste my time. So pay attention to the little things that steal your time… enough little things will keep you permanently derailed.
