My Question

How do I evolve from the old version of me?

I started my career as a data analyst. Immediately upon starting, I wanted out. Unfortunately, the market was not interested in me (read: no other offers).

On the route to becoming more “attractive” in all manners of that word, I realized the faults in my system:

  • I would get a jolt of inspiration // motivation.

  • Go all in.

  • Fizzle out.

  • Repeat.

To make matters worse, the longer I stayed in my position as a data analyst, the more other people saw me as that.

Often, the preconceived notions of your environment make it harder to become what you envisioned. Beyond that, I wanted to be less affected by the winds of “motivation” and become consistent with goals that mattered to me.

I needed to build a better system. Through better habits.

What I got out of it, aka lessons

  • Everything compounds and the outcome is a lagging indicator of compounded habits.
