Sucking at Staying Consistent

I don’t know what the hell it is, but I absolutely suck at being consistent with anything. I don’t know if it’s ADD, but I find that it becomes an issue with some things. For instance – paying bills – that’s a big one that sucks balls if you aren’t consistent. It’s not like there isn’t enough to go around, it’s just that, I either forget about it, procrastinate, or roll up in to a little ball and cry when my electricity bill hits $800 mid-summer (true story, except for the crying part).

I guess I enjoy and almost welcome change in my life. Hell, if you know me well enough, you know that I haven’t had a steady relationship with a woman since Kate…something like over 2 years ago I think – I won’t consider the “non-relationship” earlier this year. I can’t even stick with keeping my iPhone case on for more than a month straight…I always have to take it off for a week or so to change it up.

Another thing that sucks about this is at work. I implemented our Agile process at work (adapted from my time I spent at Integrum), and did really well with it for about 4-6 weeks, then it slid a little bit, then we picked it back up, and now I think we’re in a state of “going through the motions”. So, I picked up a book – “Scrum in Action” – and I’m nearly done with it – I’ve got 2 chapters left…shocker, I know. That’s another thing – I have only finished 2 books cover to cover in my life – extra points if you know what they are.

Anywho…reading the book has really lit a fire under my ass, but how will the team accept the knowledge I just gained and want to bestow on them? Will they see my renewed interest as another 4-6 week sprint to another slide? How can I keep the momentum up? I know that the process works if you stick with it, and I’m excited to talk about it whenever I get a soapbox, but I don’t think I’ve stuck with it long enough to actually show it to the team. I’ve got things to prove and places to get to in my career…so any suggestions at this point are welcome.
