Just between us, I have been killing it at work since I got back from holiday. I haven’t overdone it or underdone it, I’ve just done what I needed to do and kept what I believe to be a good balance. This feels like how this role should be performed and I’m feeling like I’m providing value.

I’ve provided some great input in areas both within my specialisation and outside of it, seeding ideas and generating high level technical discussions. I’ve collaborated with internal and external stakeholders. Progressed activities and provided valuable updates to the team on current and upcoming technologies and solutions.

Now I just need to bring that kind of energy to my personal life… which I’ve started on by getting my apartment in order. Took the cardboard box pile down to recycling today and just gave my air fryer a deep clean so I can use that again without it making my apartment smell like old grease.

I know what I should do now but it’s a matter of getting up and doing it. I should go for a walk or something. Go Go Gadget lifestyle changes to promote better mental health!
