Week 9

This week is hopefully the last week of holidays before we go back to serious work again. If there is anything that defines this week, it is motivation. Working backwards, it was difficult for me to be motivated to write this blog. It was equally difficult for my wife to keep the faith in this entire experiment as we were struggling to motivate him to keep doing stuff that we wanted him to.

During my preparation for admission examinations, the last of which was the GMAT in 2011, I have gone through this roller-coaster of emotions - starting out with a lot of enthusiasm, for it to dip precipitously after a few days to the point of almost giving up, then a silver lining appearing from somewhere to keep going, then building on the positive feeling to get some small wins, use those wins to motivate myself for larger wins till the actual exam happened.

I guess this entire exercise is going to be similar in terms of the emotional journey. I will try to keep up and not drop off this exercise of writing this blog every week.
