1/ On The Time Is Now to get your personal act together
A mini-thread, views loosely held.
If you are like me, you may do a good job in your professional life but there are quite a few things outstanding in your personal life.
2/ The type of things that I am talking about are the things that appear on Jan 1 every year.
You are sitting on the couch the day after New Year's Eve and are like "I absolutely am going to get this stuff dealt with this year" and they end up on the resolutions list
3/ The type of things that I am talking about are the things that are on the Jan 1 resolutions list year after year.
They are important but not critical items. They are the nagging items.
The ones that are not quite urgent and not quite important but just irritating.
You think you are unique, I think I'm unique, but probably we are agents in a biological system, sent out to do a job for the collective.
You can probably guess how people describe me at "work" - forward-thinking, open to new ideas, not afraid of change
2/ This is also how I think about myself.
In both my personal and professional life, I think I live 3 to 15 years "in the future" vs my peers - who themselves are statistically abnormal - highly educated white collar professionals.
OK, so what? This is no surprise.
3/ When I was in college, our career service had us take the Myers-Briggs test.
It is a personality test - like all of these, it is a bit science and a bit astrology.
Anyway, at age 20, I clearly tested "ENTP"
I was a kid - got good grades - but also was drunk every weekend
