Hiring for 1

I originally started writing this post almost 7 years ago. Times were simpler then. Just me, my wife, 1 year old son and the dog. The pooch is no longer with us, but two more littles have been added which makes this post a lot harder to imagine me of all people writing it.

But that’s just the point, if I can find the time to do this, what’s holding you back?

I’ve made it a point throughout this year to work on some tracking of things I’d like to change. Some are simple such as workout so many times a week, get to bed at a certain time, drink more water. The “healthy” stuff.

But I’ve also been tracking another stat. Coding. Simply put, coding during my free time. When I’m writing stuff just for me a certain amount a week. If I hit the number just right, I’m coding 2 hours a week. While this seems like not much compared to a 40 hour work week…its just that. I can get a lot done in 2 hours.

What if I don’t have 2 hours a week to work on this. That’s just it, I don’t either. But I have 4 x 30 minute sessions.

Its hard to get some stuff done in that time but that’s part of the fun of it. I’m not working on something so complex that it is difficult to get my head wrapped around it. Its stuff that makes my life easier and helps accomplish one of my automation goals that I have in mind.

What’s holding you back?
