I Can't Get No Satisfaction

We officially made it to the mid-year mark. If I’m being honest, the beginning of this year was a blur of all-nighters and endless coffee. I thought the secret was just to double down and work harder, but right on cue, the universe stepped in and told me to slow down.
​
I’m incredibly guilty of overestimating my days and underestimating what I can accomplish in a year. That’s exactly why I do these Halftime Reports as an accountability check-in. It’s a happy reminder of everything I've achieved, forcing me off the hedonic treadmill so I can actually appreciate the wins.
​
Take this as your sign to pause and look back too. You’ve done so much more than you give yourself credit for. Let’s crush the next half.

From Strength to Strength

From Strength to Strength by Arthur C. Brooks is easily one of my Top 10 reads this year. The book completely shifted my perspective on making the second act of life even more impactful than the first. I used my crystallized intelligence and created a sketchnote to capture the core themes that stood out to me.
