Higher Level Open Loops
andyc | Nov 23 2006
Folks Thanks to Merlin's Podcasts, I've finally realized why I've been procastinating all over the place for the last few months. The runway is sorted. The process works pretty well down there. Somewhere between there and 40,000 feet it all goes wrong. It doesn't help that the company I work for got acquired this year. I know what job I'm going to be doing, but there's a lot of paperwork to be done before it happens. But the change of role brings lots of 10, 20 and 30,000 feet questions up. I don't even know what the questions are, let alone the answers. Does anyone have any good triggers for questions to ask, and thought processes, at the higher levels? 13 Comments

I'll have to check out your recommendations and see if they appear to be my style. I'm a coder geek as opposed to a designer geek, and I agree that different people will have different experiences with the same material. I recently found a recommendation for Now, Discover Your Strengths somewhere. I put the book on my Amazon wish list, and a friend magically bought it for me as a Christmas present. I'll be very interested to see what StrengthsFinder suggests about me, because I feel pretty out-of-touch with myself these days. So many things to do, so little examination of whether they're worth doing... Which brings me to my own "making my own way" method, writing in my journal. It's been way, way too long since I sat down and simply put my thoughts down on paper and followed them wherever they might go. I might surprise myself if I carved out an afternoon and just wrote. » POSTED IN:
