A Stream of Consciousness
I deleted Twitter (or X, depending on how old you are) the other day. Like, not delete delete, I still have my account, but I deleted the app from my phone, removed the site from my browser favorites and logged out.
I like it so far, I felt like I wasn't sure which thoughts were mine and which was just put into my head by the sheer amount of noise that came out of this app. I also wasn't very popular or active on there, but i feel i need some place to write down a few thoughts as they pass through my head. guess this is the place.
My hard copy of "An elegant Puzzle" arrived. I had read it when I first accepted the interim Management role a year ago, but only on my kindle. I thought it would be a nice idea to also have it physically on my desk to be able to look up things or just as a general reminder to keep learning. Skimming through yesterday, this seems to have been a good call. I did not remember most of the things I came across.
I hope to collect enough experience in leadership to also be able to fill a book one day. Currently, it mostly feels like jumping from fire to fire. Maybe that is just all there is and you just get better in planning fires and which ones to ignore.
For now, all I have is knowing that I show up every day with the intention of getting better, doing the best I can do now and genuinely care about the people and the business. I hope everything else follows given enough practice.
I'm not sure what this post will amount to. I've had it open for the third day now and I think this evening I will just publish it as it is. I'm not happy with the writing I'm putting out here, but I also haven't put out much writing at all lately (on my main website that is - I have barely writing here at all), to this might just help me to get back into the habit of writing in general.
Thinking about it, writing played a crucial role in my career so far and I'm very glad I picked it up so early and more or less stuck with it. Maybe that's something I should write about.
