Real-world 'Mission Statements:' What's yours?
Merlin Also | Mar 27 2006
Okay, I officially admit it. I think personal Mission Statements are goofy. There, I said it. Danny O'Brien says geeks seek out situations that allow them to act like robots; my corollary is that business guys tend to embrace things that let them behave like corporations. Both are silly. One's funny and endearing. The other is kind of weird and creepy. (/$0.02) So. My challenge to you: give me your _real world_ Mission Statement. NOT based on pie-in-the-sky, best-of-breed, net-net, top-of-mind, uplevel thinking, etc. etc. For real -- if past is truly prologue and your actual behavior were turned into a retrospective statement of purpose, what would yours be? And no bullshitting. Here's mine: Quote:
I will waste unbelievable amounts of time on trivial obsessions, drink generous portions of low-priced spirits, and spend the better part of every day listening to indie rock and typing about "Productivity." I will also watch "Family Guy" repeatedly on my TiVo. I will like Stewie best. Okay, now you. 17 Comments

 I will spend inordinate amounts...Submitted by emuelle1 on March 28, 2006 - 4:45am.
I will spend inordinate amounts of time, despite the fact that I have an awesome array of gadgets and applications, obsessing over those gadgets, computers, and softwares which I don't have. I will spend 10 times more time "tweaking my system" (GTD) than actually implementing it. I will seek every opportunity possible to escape whatever it is I'm doing to play with my laptop. » POSTED IN:
