Sorry for not much posting lately. Time has been getting away from me. For some reason, I’m struggling a bit this week to stay motivated. I actually tried to have a bit of a social life last weekend. It was fun, but it definitely got me out of my routine.
During those times when you’d rather do most anything but study, how do you get back on track? For me, I try and focus on the reasons why I started down this path in the first place. Fortunately, I have a number of strong motivators. Some are family related, and some are more selfish. But they all push me towards the books and lab.
For those of you out there who are also on the CCIE path, I hope you have taken the time to define your reasons for wanting to do it. If you haven’t already, write them down. If you can, find some reasons beyond selfish ones. Take a minute to read your list every so often to remind yourself of why you’re doing all of this. It should help keep you motivated and on track.
