2021 Q3 Goals

I want to focus more on habits and processes and less on the personal and professional dichotomy. Strong habits and foundations will ripple over that imaginary line in the sand.

30+ days during the workweek with progress before walking into the office

Often I get up only a few minutes before my first meeting in the morning and I want to make more space to have a more intentional morning and start to my day off on the right foot.

When I am in my apartment I have an orange handheld counter that I will try to track each time I grab for my phone

 

1000+ stealth attempts

Draft hiring is broken blog post

 

This always falls to the back burner due to other things but I need to make an effort here to invest time. Every single person I know who writes publicly either personally or professionally has seen benefits independent of how much exposure it gets. One blog post is very reaslisitc
