May 2023 goals

May’s going to be consulting season again. Back to juggling product work and consulting. Busy times ahead.

I realised recently I have to work in sync with my energy seasons. Working against it is a recipe for burnout or poor moods. An example: I feel low in energy and in spirits. I try to work anything. Force myself a bit. Feel even worse after that. Mood gets worse. The mind and body doesn’t get what it needs. Rinse and repeat every day for a few weeks, and you’ll burnout. It’s a viscious, lose-lose cycle.

The month of April set an example for that.

Come May I don’t have the luxury of dwadling in those negative whirlpools.

Just follow your energy. Trust it, dammit.

And that’s it. That’s my intention for May. That’s all of it.

As for the spring cleaning and Marie Kondo-ing I didn’t achieve in April? Back to basics. 1% compounding rules. I’ll spring clean a piece at a time. Remove/re-arrange one item a day.

Just 1 item a day. A scrap piece of paper. An old reciept. An stray pen lying around.

Shouldn’t be hard right? Right?

Onwards!
