What I've Been Up to Lately

1. I left Gingerbox and now I write for Tech Cabal. During my first week at Tech Cabal, I got the chance to attend a tech conference in Ikoyi, Lagos. For the duration of the conference, I worked as the Director of Photography. I was in charge of photo sessions and video interviews. It was so cool.

Working as a Director of Photography meant I had to learn new things and do things I couldn't do before. In the process, I also met a couple of pleasant people. Most importantly, the exercise helped me finally decide what programme to study for my Masters.

2. I write more often now, because of the nature of my job. I work as a writer at Tech Cabal, where I write on tech stuff. I always loved tech but didn't consider being a tech writer before. Coming to Tech Cabal has broaden my horizon and positively influenced my thinking. Now I believe I can do anything, as long as it interests me. On the average, I write at least 2 articles a day (about 1000 words).

3. I've just finished reading Emotional Intelligence 2.0 (by Travis Bradberry and Brad Greaves) and Thinking for a Change by John C. Maxwell. Both books have shown me the crevices in my life and I have started taking steps to plaster them. If possible, I will break down those walls with crevices and rebuild them with stronger materials.

This night, I plan to start reading The Business Coach by Bradley J. Sugars.

4. Recently, I sat down to write out all the options I have for my life. This gave me proper perspective. The exercise allowed me to know where I am and better visualize and strategize for where I am going. It's an exercise I recommend for everyone reading this blog post. No matter how flimsy or impossible the option seems, write it down. Make sure the option aligns with your long term goals and dreams.
