Thursday evening I cam home to find my girls watching TV at my house which is not normal I asked my wife if her computer worked and she said "no". Upon investigation I discovered our router had a fatal failure on the wireless side. We also had a bad cable modem. Needless to say our smart home was now incapacitated. We only had our smart phones.
Unfortunately with the workload I had we were down until Saturday afternoon when I could visit one of them box stores that is supposed to have everything you need except the actual knowledge of what to do. After some ill advice and me shaking my head saying I should have known better. However I am so far out of the technology route I had no idea what AC technology compared to N Tech meant.
This got me thinking about how obsolete some things can be and the only reason we don't change is because we are comfortable. The reason I bring this up couldn't be that this applies to how we live. Redoing the same patterns every day even though our world around us changes constantly. Do you hang on to some unneeded patterns or skills even though they no longer serve you. I know I have. I did not see how old the technology was that was on my desk a 2001 cable modem. It worked!! Why should I change it. Lets see the old one couldn't take advantage of the speed or the bandwidth the cable could now produce. The wireless is much more powerful now as well. With the enhanced services my daughter can now watch her streaming Disney movies without interruption or any lagging. This is where a coach can help. Isn't it time to change and live the life you desire. Update your skills and or patterns to fit the world you live in now.
I have also struggled with how to organize I am a pen paper guy stuck in a digital world. I have a lot of work and I go back and forth from binders to electronic technology. I have spent a lot of money on those fancy organizers and end up not using them for very long. I am having to teach myself how to use the programs in the CLOUD. I am a huge fan of GOOGLE. So in my travels this weekend I picked up a multi-page scanner and am working at placing all my documents on to a digital file. I am also digitizing all my forms. Talk about welcome to the future. I have a six inch stack of paper that my daughter can now use for scrap paper. Which means I have more room for hard copies. Yes I am still old school and believe in keeping hard copies of hard to come by information. I am sure at some point soon that will be as obsolete as a vinyl record.
Webbers that is my thought for the day. What could use an upgrade in your life? By changing that one thing how would it effect the rest of your life. In my case I can now use that speed and power to accomplish more tasks which means less time at the keyboard and more time for my wife and daughter.
