I'm lying on my bed right now with my laptop on top of my pillow. Writing this in the name of consistency more than anything else. Consistency is one of my most favorite traits, one that I hope to keep intact as I continue to do the gazillion of things I have to work on every single of week. Since I've had the consciousness that work is an important part of life, I always have diverse workloads, manifested in my dual roles as a professional. I was at one point a student with a part-time business, a working student, a student with many types of work and today, I'm a worker who's working a lot in hopes of becoming a student again (for a master's program). Most of my working life, I had double, triple and sometimes quadruple workloads before me to finish. Focusing on the one thing that I think (or feel) I do best is difficult.

Last Friday I read a blog from Jason Kottke, the founder of the famous blog Kottke. In that blog, which was linked from an article in Mashable celebrating blogging from 2006-2010, he was saying how he finally found a focus and how the leap necessitated support from people and discipline upon himself (mostly financial). In his post, Jason was sharing his desire to focus on his blog and was asking for support. He also shared that the day he decided to just focus on producing and developing Kottke was the day he just had one thing to do.

That one thing to do is the elusive situation I have yet to discover. I hope and pray that the day will come where I need not to do too many things to sustain myself, but will have the luxury of doing that one thing which I enjoy doing the most and am destined to be great at.

If you are in the same shoes as I am, I hope and pray for the same for you.
