Day 18 – Preparation Builds Confidence

What am I feeling right now?

Right now, I think I’m feeling okay.

I say “think” because mentally I don’t feel particularly stressed, but I do notice some physical anxiety in my legs and feet.

It’s interesting how the mind and body don’t always seem to communicate the same message.

How did I approach today?

I approached today much like I normally do.

I checked support tickets, continued rebuilding my upstairs lab, and stayed consistent with the tasks already on my schedule.

Work was fairly balanced today—not overly demanding, but not completely quiet either.

What is one thing I completed today?

One thing I completed today was solving a networking problem in my lab.

I’m working with a VLAN that should have internet access, and after troubleshooting, I discovered the gateway information being received through DHCP was incorrect.

Figuring that out gave me more confidence going into tomorrow’s upgrade project. I’ve completed this type of work before, but better preparation makes me believe this time will go even smoother.

Preparation doesn’t eliminate every challenge, but it often gives you the confidence to face them.
