It’s been awhile since I’ve posted here and I’m not quite ready to say I’ll be picking it up again on a regular basis. But I have been getting the urge lately to get back into creating things. I’m not sure what things quite yet. But something is brewing.
For the past six months, I’ve been completely consumed by work. I moved from a straight up product management role (where all I did was make things) to an operations role, and have done everything from selling to account management to expense management to you name it. While I love the variety and the new array of challenges and problems to solve, my brain keeps reminding me that I really like to create things and I’m not getting enough of that lately.
Work has been tough. The world is tough right now. We have way too much to do and not enough people. My days are long. I wake up to sell (that means getting up when it’s dark out), and I typically stick around until the last engineers are gone (that means it’s dark out). I’m not complaining. Most of the time I love it. But on a Friday night, when I start to think about all the things I would like to create, but am too tired to work through a half-baked idea, I get a little sad.
This week, I left work early a few times. That was good. Trying to recharge the batteries a bit. It’s no big surprise that slowing down, brought back the need to create things. It feels good.
More to come …
