Working in the New Year

Here is it January 1, 2004 and Karol and I in the office closing the year. This seems to have become tradition. Karol is working for Manpower tomorrow, so she won’t be able to close the year, so we’re doing it today.

Fiscally Dodecahedron’s year wasn’t terrible. As one client likes to say, “We’re still here.” That said, we’re a long ways from where we really want to be. I guess I need to embrace the saying, “If it is to be, it’s up to me.”

One mindset I’ve read is, one has about 2,000 hours to work in a year. That’s about 120,000 minutes. If you want to earn $100,000 a year, they you need to think that each minute of your time as worth $0.83. Or just round it off to $1.00 a minute.

Hours are hard to keep track of, but we can all think about how we steal a few minutes here or there and we don’t consider the cost.
