Update:

This week I didn’t talk to anyone. Life has been wild.

Reflection:
We’ve been talking a lot about how initiative helps people to figure out what matters the most to them. This week, I was juggling a series of urgent and important client meetings and also tried to finish a few things with my job. I ended up reaching out to nobody and talking to nobody about my project. What that tells me is that in the larger scope of things, it’s not the priority in my life, even if it is meaningful to me personally. It means that perhaps it is meaningful, when I have extra time and bandwidth. Soon, as I shift my career focus away from tech and into personal finance, I am curious how it will compare then. I thought about several people I could reach out to and still didn’t as I woke up every day at 5:30am and went to bed exhausted between 11pm and 1am. I’m still not quite out of the woods just yet, but we shall see. More on this later as I follow up on this.
