It's the reality of where I am in my career now - wandering, searching, exploring, discovering, and learning.
I'm very fortunate that a few folks have looked past my lack of commitment and let me participate, investing in the hope of mutual benefit.
Of course, I feel the visceral and conflicting tensions: the need for an all-encompassing mission, the desire to create that mission for myself, and yet, the realization that I don't know what it takes, nor where it will take me.
I’m officially unemployed as of October 1st. I’ve known this day was coming for a year, and yet I am still shocked by how quickly it has come. Not that I didn’t keep myself occupied - but ... wow.
Reality hits.
“What’s your plan?!”, I am often asked.
I have many plans, but ironically, no specific one when it comes to my career. I’m super grateful that I have the flexibility I do; I’m going to take advantage of it while I can.
I just discovered a new app, Streaks. I’m strangely excited about it, primarily because it forces me to prioritize: what are the six most important habits to me? I want to write more describing my recent journey with habits, but I’ll save that for another time.
I’ve been doing a great job on many habits with the help of Coach.me, but the simple truth is that the flexibility of the platform enables me to over-commit - and being over-committed impacts everything, not just the superfluous things.
