1. Missing Manual
1.1. In conversation
1.1.1. I know I have a low lag time
1.1.1.1. (meaning I interrupt)
1.1.2. I do care about others (and everyone in groups) participating
1.1.2.1. I like structured conversations
1.1.2.1.1. reaction rounds
1.1.2.1.2. circling
1.2. As an employee
1.2.1. I do well in high-pressure, low-resource, low-information situations
1.2.2. I hate being micro-managed
1.2.3. I hate not being able to positively impact the processes I have to use
1.2.4. I will be very difficult to manage unless
1.2.4.1. my manager has my total respect
1.2.4.2. my manager involves me in decision-making
1.2.5. This is why I gravitate toward Holacracies
1.2.5.1. or any other teal organizations
1.2.6. Or toward starting my own thing
1.3. What are my life goals RIGHT NOW?
1.3.1. Health
1.3.1.1. I am in the worst shape of my life
1.3.1.1.1. 220-230 lbs after being an elite athlete.
1.3.1.2. This got much worse when I became a developer and went into an office full-time.
1.3.1.3. I want/need to get as much exercise as possible, intermingled with work
1.3.2. Financial Security
1.3.2.1. I'm 39 with lots of marketable skills but no savings
1.3.2.2. I am somewhere in between confirming that I am a midlevel Rails/Python developer and starting to expect the benefit that come from that
1.3.2.3. Currently prioritizing this over passion/pursuing my own path
1.3.2.4. But would be really great to have both!
2. Purpose
