It’s really easy to get caught up in something so much so that you can’t let it go. Part of moving on and getting on with life though is letting go.
Sometimes my job requires using old equipment and getting it back up and running. While there are a lot of different methods you can use to do that, there are times, when no matter what you try it just won’t work, and you’ve got to rip it out and put something new in.
Knowing when to try something new can be a challenge, when does the time you put into trying to make an old method work, outweigh the cost of just starting over.
It’s easy to get caught up in one single focus, but sometimes it doesn’t work, and you have to get creative and try something new. I’m not saying change your goal, but at least the means to get there.
Don’t get tunnel-vision. Look for new and creative ways to do things different. It will broaden your horizons.
