Weeknotes 9 June, 2023

Friday. Already.

This week’s felt like I’ve done a lot of stopping and starting. I’ve felt low on mojo so have needed to rest – and I’ve tried my best to roll with that and not feel bad for taking the time. When we need to rest, rest. I’ll try and remember that…

I’ve still managed to motor through to dos, which is satisfying. They’ve looked a bit like this:

Lots of microcopy. For when people change, upgrade, or downgrade a subscription.

Having my development conversation. I choose to do this now as I felt I needed some feedback. It’s also been a while since I had one of these chats. I documented the things I’ve done, can’t do due to resources, and a wish list of things I’d like to do. I also jotted down some answers to common review and growth questions. I also nominated 5 people to give me 360 degree feedback.

The conversation itself was really rewarding. I once had a less than optimal review when I worked for a very well known luxury brand. My boss was anything but professional and there were tears involved (mine). And all in a glass-windowed room in a very busy thoroughfare. Ever since that, I’ve been a teensy bit anxious about reviews. Yet, I’ve also used that rather unpleasant experience as fuel for me to thrive. The proof is in my review this week. Thank to those who shared their lovely comments, and most of all for highlighting areas I can work on to thrive even further.

Seaside walks and low tides. A.K.A. the only time my dog will entertain the beach.
