Today marks the end of my forty-fourth week of working from home (mostly). Here are my takeaways from week forty-four:

• January – Today was the last business day of the month. January was an eventful month full of extremes. It felt like an extension of 2020 with a twist. I’m curious about whether we’ll continue to see extremes the rest of the year.
• Work from home – I worked exclusively from home this week. It wasn’t terrible—but it wasn’t great, either. A change of scene is important to me and I definitely notice when I don’t get it.  
• Wall Street & Main Street – Developments in the stock market this past week were astonishing. And I think the situation is far from over. In what direction will this saga go? What topics will it put at the forefront of popular culture? I hope it doesn’t lead to a repeat of 2008 and 2009.
• Ideas – Had some great conversations this week about some ideas I’m excited about. Looking forward to working with others to put some of them into action.

Week forty-four was pretty crazy—normal for me personally, but historic and extreme at a macro level.
