Week 204: 2018-01-13

A decent week with some up and downs. Things are generally getting under control but had three pain points that re-emerged.

Words of the week:
  • Ambiguity: I hate it, and it cripples me, especially if I can’t get a clear sense of what people want. I’ve used humor to help people help me, but I’m noticing that it doesn’t always work.
  • Tasks: I like working through tasks as it helps me to plough through a day and “check things off” the list. I do like to work with calendars to, as they give me a realistic sense of available time
  • Data: This has become a big topic for the company that I work with these days.  There’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what data is and a resetting of that conversation that is necessary.
Number of the Week:
  • 0: A big goal for the first 6 months of this year is to get all my credit card balances to 0. I have been running a bit of a balance on them, but part of my plan this year is to clean all of this up fast.
