first step

The comments on my first German changelog entry signalize understanding and agreement, perhaps the authors are/were in a similar situation. For Thomas sounds, what I have written even after burn-out, but that word do not fit to my situation.

There is a cool tool for the generation of tag clouds, wordle, and I have my text thrown into that generator to see, what is the strongest words are:

My key words in English are: time, change, process. Even in German and French are the results are almost identical.

To start a change process, I consider the necessity to describe the situation in which I / cocoate is, in detail. Because, if I want to change something, it is good to analyze the actual situation and also to reflect how does it came to that situation.
Only then am I really in a position to define potential problems, to develop a strategy to solve these problems and also, calrify my real goals.

Even though that might seems to be too theoretical, I am convinced, that this approach is a prerequisite for sustainable change. I do not want to change the surface and play with the symptoms, I want to change my life.

It is time again for a big change.
Well, I actually change myself and what I do constantly. But this time it's different. I want to do a deeper change in my life, I want to live differently.
My work takes a very big place in my life, I can't really distinguish between work and leisure time, somehow both parts overlaps always. This is ok for me, but I want to tidy up, because I am permanently busy and have only little time for recreation and that is not good for me.
So I thought I "clear out" my company cocoate.com. That means, I will analyze for what I spend how much time, with which activities I earn money and what do I like most. The result of this analysis is the basis for the modification of cocoate.com.

And I describe this process in public.
This is new for me, because until now I worked more or less concealed. But I would like to get hints, tips, ideas,suggestions. On the other site, I do show my skills and do incur public criticism and / or approval.

The process is more important than the result? The process is at least as important as the result!
