I recently counted the number of months on The Morebise Post website sidebar, about 25 of them where there. Keeping the post going for 25 straight months has not been an easy feat, most people would have just given up.
I now wonder if focusing on the fact that I wanted to write a post everyday and send it out before 5AM Nigerian time made it easier for me to get on the road, rather than focusing on long term goals like thinking about what #TMP would look like 25 months down the road.
I think taking things one day at a time might be a good way to approach our work. You have a solid overall vision in place – of course – but you choose to move ahead and work up steadily, rather than waiting and working out everything first before getting started.
If you ask me where will #TMP be by August 1, 2026, truth is: I don’t know!
What I do know is that the blog will still be standing, and we will keep discussing around the central themes of creativity, productivity, business and analysing all the things happening in industries that catch our attention.
Does this mean I won’t set goals for #TMP? Not really. I will set goals and then try to match them, but I will never allow the rigours of goal-setting to rob me of the beauty of my day-to-day job.
This is important. If we dwell too much on the grandeur of where we are going and the big overall vision (which ever resides in an undateable future), we might just fail to focus properly and work out the day-to-day tasks that will build up the future.
