Weekly Reflection: Week One Hundred Sixty-Seven

This is my one-hundred-sixty-seventh weekly reflection. Here are my takeaways from this week:

  • Contract details matter – This week was a reminder that details matter in contracts. It’s worth taking time to understand the details before agreeing to a contract.
  • Schedule experiment – I’m a few weeks into my schedule experiment. The schedule change has had positive impacts that I didn’t anticipate. It’s led me to adjust what I read, when I read, how I read, and why I read. I’ll dive into the adjustments in another post; for now, I’ll just say that I’m happy with this new habit. I believe it will turbocharge my ability to acquire and compound wisdom. And I also believe it will increase the frequency with which I uncover insights.
  • Back to growth – I’ve been talking with early-stage founders and tracking a few public technology companies. Anecdotally, there’s a trend of companies getting things cleaned up and returning to growth mode or discovering how to enter growth mode for the first time. Sentiment for some company leaders is shifting from negative to optimistic, which is a big shift from six months ago.

Week one hundred sixty-seven was an insightful week. Looking forward to next week!
