Run it up.

First Things First: 2022 is almost over…

Man August really came and went didn’t it.

…and then September…

…did we have an October?….

Who remembers anything before the week of Thanksgiving?

You see where I’m going here, it’s about to be December and we’re in the last minutes of the 4th quarter.

I didn’t lose track of time but I also have no idea how I didn’t get the most out of it in the past few months. Small progressions have been made but not where I want to be in a lot of places. I’m grateful for what I have don’t get me wrong but there are goals I have written and for some reason I feel behind on them. OK maybe they aren’t written and that’s the problem. Might also be because I JUST GOT TO MY MID 30’S in September and the thought of getting older but not “established” might be bugging me. It’s most likely an insecurity or mental headspace thing because I remember this headspace around the months before turning 30 and finishing my 2nd attempt at college hoping that the next move was the best move. Now I’ve accomplished most of those goals and set new ones in front of me but the road feels different.

So by the time this is posted my recent “Office Hours” episode should be posted to YouTube. Here I briefly went over the need to create and follow a roadmap for my next few steps. So far I’ve completed 2 of them which is already helping boost my confidence. Only 1 month remaining for 2022 so I’ll get on it right after this goes up also.
