It’s here, it’s finally here, we’ve waited all year for it. And now it is here. The calendar rolled over. Time to begin anew and move forward with our hopes and dreams. Or, and most importantly, keep going on the projects you started in 2024, don’t shelve them for the shiny and bright, keep pushing through.
I had an issue yesterday where I couldn’t figure out why the code wasn’t working. But then it started to work. I have no idea why. But it did. And now I’m stuck on a new problem – how did this all of a sudden start working? Because now I’m worried that it might stop again and I won’t have a reason.
Teams grow. Products get more complicated. Process encroaches. Security protocols enter the fray. You’re past Minimum Viable Product. Now it’s about growth, security, and maintaining delivery timelines and schedules. But never leave the small business mindset that you had and that got you there – think small, work with what you have, deliver big.
Does Boxing Day still have the same flavour and ring to it that it used to? Does it matter anymore now that so much can be online? Should we be treating it a different way now? How many decorations come down today? The holiday can stay, but maybe the purpose and reason can change to something else.
Or was it productive? Maybe not in the way that you had previously defined productivity but maybe in a completely different way. Every day can be productive, it just depends on how we define it and what we measure it against. But even if it wasn’t, don’t call it a bad day.
