Pete's Eats

With 12+ years in our fast-paced industry you’d think I knew a few things about time management. I know I did.

The last six months at Microsoft have completely dismissed that idea however. I can genuinely say that I have never been so busy in my professional life before, ever! It’s not that I’ve been lazy before of course, but my life has tended to run a little bit hot and cold at times. I’m not complaining though, the learning experience has covered a vast amount of ground and has clearly delivered exactly what I was hoping for from going to work for a large multi-national tech company. I’ll be writing an entry about my motives very soon by the way, so I won’t go into the ‘why’s’ here for now.

It’s very, very easy to become really, really busy at Microsoft. It can take but one morning of phone calls and emails to over-commit yourself for the next two months. One of the key skills I’ve had to teach myself is to create processes around my own productivity and whilst working for a large organisation, this isn’t as easy as it might sound. I’ll be doing a blog entry on this soon too…

Blogging will take a place in those processes once again too. I had considered giving up my blog, but I’ve changed my mind. I think (hope) it will help me to dump some clutter from my head if I give it some space on these pages.

Technology, design and business. I have new focus…
