Well, right now, I’m struggling a bit with keeping my high energy going after the big conference. It’s now been over a week since I got back from Vegas. The conference was great, we got a lot of solid leads… but with so much work going into the conference, it can be hard not to slack off a bit.
So, leading up the conference, I was focused on getting the website converted to our new format (check out www.JaveLLinsolutions.com and let me if you have any feedback on the new site), and I was focused on a web dynpro version of Production Execution, and the IPad app for the Production supervisor, getting a new SAP system up and running to allow fast access of all our applications… All of that effort, kinda left me a little burned out. Then of course, I’m a bit of an introvert, so having to be on 100% of time during the show really takes a lot out of me.
So, what I’ve found is that it’s quite alright to take a week and ease back into things. Go to bed at a reasonable hour every night, just work till you get tired, or take care of the high priority tasks, and let the secondary tasks slide for a week. the important thing to remember is that you can’t let things slide forever… so keep your to-do list up and running. Focus on the high priority tasks, and when you feel a little more charged up, go back to your “normal” schedule. For me, I’m hoping to ramp up this coming week and be rolling at 100%. The conference gave me some big new things to start working on, but I need to start small. I also just finished a great marketing book. I’ll talk more about that soon…
Have no fear, more technical stuff is coming, it’s just been a long couple of months. ha ha ha.
