Embracing Discomfort.

Another week, another adventure.

After a sonorous weekend, I leapt two-footed into the work-heavy Monday with serious gusto. Fresh from marking my priorities, mapping out my long/term goals, sharpening my short/term pursuits and showcasing the beliefs, behaviours and habits that’ll get me there — I was ready, hungry, keen, sharp and pumped.

The bike ride didn’t disappoint — point A to point B in record time again. Although I did jump a few red lights, nothing like a disapproving scowl from a vegan Londoner to begin my Monday morning in earnest.

I typically block out the first four hours of my Monday workday — today was no different. The point of this is to reminisce and strategize — about my work, how I can encompass it into my sense of being, and why I do what I do in the first place. For clarity really. And direction.

Work-week looks extremely packed for the foreseeable. Few showdown customer facing calls, lots of internal performance reviews and operational metrics dash-boarding. All the good stuff. And I am here for it - to learn and give it my all. What else do I have to do anyway?

Talking of which, I finally use my lunch hour to fire out two articles — one on Medium and the other on LinkedIn. Ticking another box in my daily to-do list.
