This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, “initiative,” comes to us from Fandango. Check out his blog here!

I never realized until I sat down to write this post how hard it is to take the initiative when you’re solely responsible for your work.

The first two definitions from Dictionary.com are:

1. the ability to assess and initiate things independently

If I didn’t, I’d do nothing at all.

2. the power or opportunity to act or take charge before others do.

There are no others. There’s only me.

Back when I worked for other people, I loved taking the initiative.

Thinking about it again, maybe now I’m taking all the initiative.

Hmm.
