Getting back my Friday Night Essance

My immediate plan is to use the “Company Capture” technique to increase both the effectiveness of my work and of the company as I work toward my Friday Night Essence in their own mini-days around my work. I am a grants manager for a behavior health treatment center, and have been trying to breakdown the company essence based on the question “this responsibility exists due to…”, and am not sure if my present position is an essence within itself, or since it impacts all the other value growing areas also, if it is a trailing responsibility? My responsibilities exist both because of the other money producing areas, but they also exist because of grants management. I have implemented the mini-day schedule and started to use the power-thinking process for scheduling my days, and I am amazed at how effective the process is and how much I am able to accomplish.

By profession, I am an electronic engineer and work on my engineering projects as hobbies now. But as you can imagine R&D can be an expensive hobby, but my job has allowed me to give back to the human race after working for years in the defense industry. My current work has brought me some satisfaction – not happiness. Your writings and the first lessons have been meaningful; because, you have answered and explained so many things that I have inherently believed but had no foundations for those beliefs. The things that I have implemented are working which gives me great hope for all the things I have yet to do. I 100% agree that we are made to be value creators. There is nothing like the satisfaction that comes from taking a bunch of parts that are basically useless lying there by themselves and combining then in a unique fashion to create something that never existed before that is beneficial to others and can make their lives better. You have given me hope which have taken some of my past uncompleted projects off the shelf, formed a team and am moving forward on the projects after years of stagnation. Thank you, thank you so very much.
