Freedom to do what you can to get the lifestyle you desire comes from practice, dreams and above everything else the dogged determination to get up when you get punched in the face for writing a report no one wants to read about. That is the dream. There have been greater laptop dreamers that have come and gone using their fingers to create magic through word smithing.
Looking forward I glean that I will struggle heaps from getting up from the punch on the face when you are unsure what you will create from your laptop especially when I have no skill to code or even to come up with a solid idea. The dogged determination will bring me to stead since at the moment that is what I am banking on. Time and again the drafting and redrafting will determine how far this will allow the steps forward.
The mobile nature of the work space will give you greater freedom to do anything you want but that will mean you will not be doggedly thinking or acting on your laptop dream even though you can practically do it on the go. It is a fine line between making the right amount of effort to the right amount of leisure. After all that is what the dream is all about.
Will I be able to take the time to produce memorable results from sitting at exotic locations without deviating from the original plan of dogged determination. It is important to note that the other two attributes are not left to the wayside. In fact practice and dreaming combined forms the basis of dogged determination.
I dislike repeating catch phrases and find them simple writing techniques but then again my simple mind probably does not realize repetition makes permanent.
I have often come across this phrase; fake it till you make it. The premise always makes me start to wonder if what I do is faking things till I am at the peak of that particular endeavor, in this instance the laptop dream would be the direct beneficiary of practice making it permanent, after all how are you going to improve if you do not repeat or practice your craft. Creating content. Composing lyrical music. Word smithing.
The airy fairy feeling I get when I hear it somewhat gets me cautious mentioning it as it seems to give me the heebie-jeebies, and I can't help it as I for some reason cannot say it with gusto. There is a certain amount of work that must be achieved in order for me to confidently say the dream materializing in front of me. In fact the notion that I would redraft and rewrite what I have already typed is foreign to me but that is the struggle for me which boils down to how then can the dream be achievable when my writing process is very spontaneous and does not have a structure other than words popping into my head as I write. Yes. This you would say suit the laptop dream of going anywhere and everywhere with the freedom to take your office.
You never know what happens tomorrow but you have to make sure you are going to get your work done. You are your own boss. The buck does not come if you do not get it done. That process you have will get distracted. There are sights you will want to feast your eyes on. The setting you bring your laptop will determine the intensity of what will get your attention. Time management is your friend. It is my friend. Without it you will not get anywhere.
Not get anywhere will mean you will not have that dream achieved. It is a double edged sword. The pressure while it is hard will spur you to action also. Relax but not relax.
