A parent came up to me yesterday and said, “Happy birthday! I have two questions for you, one work related and one personal… which would you like first?”
…And after we finished talking about the work question (business first, obviously), she asked me, “What’s next now that you’re 35? …What’s going to be your focus for this next year?”
And to be honest, I was a little caught off guard.
I spent a good amount of time reflecting on what I’ve learned over the last year(s), but hadn’t thought about what I want this next year to bring… how I want to change… what I want to focus on or do better…
And after thinking about it a little more, here’s what I decided on: initiate more IRL interactions.
I want to do a better job of inviting people over to my house, getting people together to go out and eat, booking tickets to shows/events and getting a squad together, talking to more strangers, and taking spontaneous trips to meet up with friends scattered around the world.
This is the modern day antidote. This is what I think I need a little bit more of. This is what I think *we all* need a little bit more of…
