Every month is a month to experiment, aligned with a theme. With each theme, I want to turn those experiments into action, so at the end of the month, I write, publicly, some of the successes and failures I have, and lessons I want to take moving forward.
The goal – something actionable that we can take home and use today.
- Different is Difficult
- Successes: Moved different processes at work to happen without me, built inroads with team and leadership, and adjusted behavior, saw family.
- Failures: Didn’t launch any personal projects, very little rest. Very few social outings.
- Lesson: There is always more work to do. Expose my choices and see what happens.
- Moving forward: Slow down. Add rest time in my calendar. Don’t fill my calendar up.
- Successes: Moved different processes at work to happen without me, built inroads with team and leadership, and adjusted behavior, saw family.
