Navigating through the Long Haul

• I need to just focus on getting better - no narratives attached.

• Progress will take its due time.

  • Long term: How do I measure progress over a month?

  • Short term: What makes today productive? How much can I actually do?

• Plans do need an end date.

  • On a topic: What is good enough? How long does it take to get there?

• Handling turbulence:

  • Can I use it in my favour instead of fighting to save on fuel?

  • What can I still learn from these that is transferable?

  • If I have to survive a toxic workplace

    • Toughest: Stop caring about what happens at work.

    • See how to utilize work hours to my benefit.

    • Don’t get fired.

  • If I have to grind through a topic which doesn’t interest me

    • Toughest: Convince yourself that it’s important.

    • Random exploration, structured deep dives, performance.

    • Go back to absolute basics if required.

• Not giving my best shot is what I’d regret.
