Catching back up to my weekly reflecting and posting rhythm. Family sickness kept me away last weekend and I didn’t really catch up in the week. The word that sums up this week is: rethinking 🤔. I have been struggling with work’s emotional burden and thinking a bit about how it is taking too much. I have also got back on the wagon with my quarterly review and planning routine.
A top moment for me was hosting my family on Sunday 🍗. Something I’m looking forward to next week is a day trip to another city on Monday with them 🌲🥾.
My week headlines
🧠 Understanding: Some helpful IFS insight through some emotional struggles with the help of my mentor. Also how helpful 1:1s can be.
🧶 Creating & cultivating: Almost finished a games & fire wood cabinet 🔨 plus a lot of shelving these two weeks. The kitchen is really coming together ❤️.
📺 Consuming: Finished reading The Eye of the World and watched Back to the Future with my wife 📺.
🔆 Connecting: With my brother a bit. Also met up in my book club after 8 weeks 😳.
✒️ Most used pen & ink combo: Pilot Custom 823 with 🟦 Sailor Potsu Potsu
🏹 One thing for future self: I can listen to ‘my manager’ (voice) and take some advice whilst toning it down and allowing my team to take responsibility. (An IFS thing).
