😬😧🥴 Recently went outside my comfort zone…

I had to discuss about stuff with the team that is not really up my alley.

Need to prepare more for these eventualities.

Epic work fails

I accidentally kicked my CPU while on a call with a client.

Stress on 'accidentally'. Learn how to stay still.

When I'm stressed, you might notice me…

Furrowing my brow and not talking a lot.

Just let me be for the meantime, I will figure things out on my own, eventually. Or not.

The best environment for me is:

time for deep work in the AM< 2 meetings deep work time slots onlymostly team time

I am ok to work alone or with a lot of people. Doesn't really matter.
