The trough of disillusionment

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

I’m working on a project right now.  It’s a very big long project.  Maybe 350 pages.

I broke inertia and got started and then got some momentum.  I’m an experienced writer and project manager, and I know what is coming.  So I have a sense of urgency to keep it moving before I get to the trough of disillusionment.

It comes even to the best of us.  In our business, our quest, our project…we lose our mojo and it feels like a slog.  Play it.  Break your routine.  Schedule time to mix with others who will take an interest and support you.

Keep a scoreboard on your progress.  Set mini-goals.  Do what you must to keep your emotional and mental energy for the work.  See it through.  

In the Baja 1000, once I know the finish line is closer, I get a second wind. 

Stay with it.  Everyday – forward. 

Don’t quit.

This one was perfect timing for me. I can feel that feeling coming on. Was exactly what I needed to hear at the exact right time!

Words that I needed to hear today. Going through a rough patch and was beginning to get discouraged. Thank you
