It’s travel week, and it will be a travel week almost every week for the next month. I am writing this in a flight to Mumbai and will connect to Goa where we have Axelerant offsite and retreat over next week. Over my 6+ years at Axelerant, this will be my 5th retreat. Considering that we are an entirely distributed organisation, this retreat is one of the most important times of the year. I’m looking forward to learnings next week. Let’s get started for this week.

It’s winter! Well, it’s winter from quite some time but I actually felt it this week with regular snow and white roofs and roads. I hope you’re keeping warm and bundled in. I’ll get to my learnings this week.

January has ended and that means 8.47% year has gone. That also means 8.47% of the opportunities I had to learn this year have passed me. I hope I made fair use of that time but I am not going to dwell on that. I have the remaining 91.53% to look forward to now. In any case, this post is still only about 1.91% of the whole year. These learnings are 1.91% of what I hope to learn the whole year.

All the same, I am very happy that many find some value in my own learnings and journey. I keep saying that there is enough we learn in a day to fill pages, but because we have many challenges on our attention, these things slip away. That is the reason I write every week–so that I can remember.

This week was slower than the last week but I felt I was going into depth of a few things and focus rather than dealing with a breadth of issues. There is still a lot for me to take away from this week.

I write this for myself but over the last couple of weeks, many people have told me that they read this every week. I am deeply gratified and flattered that you find value in this. Thank you! Let’s jump in this week’s learnings.

I am able to achieve closure on tasks and even gain some closure at the end of the day. Even if I don’t stick to my calendar schedule entirely, I still find I am able to balance my responsibilities and call it a day at the end of the day.
Read »I have started organising my activities more strictly around the calendar, which means that my life just got a little boring, but a lot more organised. I can actually find that I can keep my sanity while doing the two dozen things that always seem to be on my mind. Occasionally, I slip up and find myself writing the post I meant to write the day before. But I am happy I got to writing this post this week.
