I've needed to write about a couple of things here lately. What better time than during the early parts of spring with introspective rain showers popping up regularly. These two items are slightly related and involve not just my personal life but my professional one as well.

1. What you are going to do is nothing compared to what you are doing. Only when you actually do great things does anyone care what you are going to be doing. Do; execute; be.

2. Do the good things first. For pretty much my entire life, I have typically held off on doing the things I really want to do. As a kid and until recently, when eating dinner I would eat the things I like the least first, saving the tastier portions for later in the meal. I think this tendency has pervaded more of my life than just my eating habits. As such, I am now taking action and giving effort to make sure I do the things I really want to do first, and if I have time (or appetite) left, then do the rest. Rather than save that awesome but lengthy technical paper on the latest, greatest computer attack for a more convenient time or until after I read some smaller, less interesting papers, I need to just read that paper and do it.
