Just taught myself how to do something. To be more horse-blinder’d. Easy, tempted by another idea or possibility then immediately say STOP.
And more focus on SELF. Coworker, another new AE, training a couple desks over. Finished mine for the week about 45 minutes ago. Three meetings lined up… good. Now I’m starting to feel that old AE thrill that I felt at Sonic. Only more elevation from here.
Fading a bit. May leave in a few minutes…. Forcing myself to stop typing. Be still. OBSERVE.
Reminder to myself – What I told students, “Your best writing is when you’re not writing. Live more, write less. React later, and only if it sticks.”
