A very personal reflection on my work-life from April to June 2022.
A month ago, I switched from a writing-only lifestyle to a part-time design job. I joined an innovation agency where I worked a year ago to lead a project with a big corporate client. We agreed on four days a week because I wanted to keep one day for writing. I promised myself I will keep writing articles every week. Well. I did not publish anything since then. And I’m not happy about that....
A very personal reflection on my work-life from January to March 2022.
I had a couple of bad days in a row. That didn’t happen to me for a while. So I was surprised. Because the less it happens, the easier it is to forget how quickly can one bad day turn into a crisis. So even though I had something else planned for today, I want to talk about this: How can we prevent bad days from snowballing into a disaster?...
A very personal reflection on my work in 2021.
Last week sucked. 3 reasons why: Right off the gate, I burned myself out on writing about my monthly review process. It was 3-4 times longer than my usual Monday post, taking over 8 hours of work. Not a good idea to push myself to finish 2k words in 1 day. Lesson learned. Then, I got re-stuck on writing the System guide. That never gets old. So, as a momentary run-away project, I worked on an article that I decided not to even finish because after 2 days of work I realized the idea is maybe strong enough for a tweet, but not an article....
Today, I’ll show you a monthly review of my productivity System. November was okay but not great, so it’s a good month to share. I will go through each part of my review process and explain what’s happening and why. The goal of my monthly reviews is to see my life and work from a higher perspective. I go through everything that happened and change what doesn’t work. I won’t explain every detail, but I will try to make things clear enough, so you can steal whatever you like and use it in your life....
