The first 16 weeks of this year, I continued to write weekly posts. However, the weekly format isn’t really anything - neither a daily journal nor an infrequent blog post. So, I’m switching back to the old “whole year’s log in a single page format”. The first 16 weeks (with a couple missing weeks where I didn’t write anything) are here – 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
And then after this, I wrote the daily logs for a bit: 04-23 / 04-24 / 04-25 / 04-26 / 04-28 / 04-29 / 04-30 / 05-02 / 05-07 / 05-08 / 05-09 / 05-10 / 05-15 / 05-16 / 05-22 / 05-23 / 05-29 / 05-31 / 06-01 / 06-04 / 06-06 / 06-08 / 06-15
but the daily doesn’t flow well either.. so i’m back to yearly. I’m going to keep it chronological top-down.

Acting your wage will atrophy your abilities
Abilities unused will atrophy, so putting in anything less than your best means giving up on what you’re capable of. You can’t save talent or energy for better days, only watch it go to waste. The years will wash away quickly. If you wait for the perfect company to reveal your peak potential, it may never come. Or by the time it does come, you’re not ready, because you’re no longer who you were. You let it slip. That’s a tragedy.
Whatever the situation, whatever the company, you should show up with your very best. Not for them, but for you. Use the discontent to become better, then bolt to another camp when the opportunity presents itself.
Besides, you’ll appreciate a good place so much more if you’ve made it through some bad places.
Don’t play yourself by living down to their expectations. Show yourself the path out by shining bright whatever the weather.
