I wish you: the bliss of satisfying any earworm you have are surrounded by people who get your jokes have someone who says “me too!” at your confessions, and really listen get clarity over what your priorities are and own them with minimal second guessing have people who will call you out when you’re being…

I caught myself arguing with reality the other day. I was annoyed that despite having slept for 12 hours in total the day before, and 8+ hours the night before, I still feel exhausted at 12pm. It doesn’t make sense. I thought I have bounced back from the food poisoning. I mean hey all symptoms…

As a knowledge worker, I find that whenever I find myself getting anxious or worried, the causes will fall into one of these categories: uncaptured (fear of dropping the ball, letting anything slip through the cracks) unprocessed (unchallenged, just mental chatter, reinstating personal narrative, reinforcing sense of identity, telling myself what I already believe) unorganised…
Satu hal yang saya amati: saya lebih nyaman dalam komunikasi empat mata dibanding percakapan dengan jumlah peserta yang lebih dari dua. Entah kenapa saya merasa apa yang saya ingin katakan lebih “nyampe”. Ini terjadi di konteks profesional maupun pertemanan. Saya lebih luwes ketika ngobrol berdua dibanding bahkan tiga orang pun.

Spent 3 hours reading a couple of books, revisiting clipped notes on Evernotes, and going through the book summaries here. Written some notes, Just going to dump them below.

(disclaimer: only relevant for anxious overachievers) the stakes are often not that high as you made up in your mind. all the urgent tickets. the projects, complicated, detailed architecting, estimation, request record feasibility checks, comprehensive SOWs. urgent PoCs. sample data bug, getting stuck on a flow, don’t know how to proceed the tasks the fires…
Does responsibility come from response-ability ? Haven’t checked the etymology but I like the idea. It shifts the sentiment of the word from a burden / being expected to do something / powerless, to control / being able to choose your actions and how to response / powerful. Quite a useful reframe. OK, all words…
Started asking myself these questions more and more lately: how many things can I get if I just ask? how many miscommunication can I avoid by asking? how many problems can I solve more easily if I just ask for help? what questions am I avoiding asking? what wants am I avoiding sharing? what needs…
