Friday marked the end of my twenty-eighth week of working from home (mostly). Here are my takeaways from week twenty-eight:

• Groove – This week, I felt like I was in a good rhythm and beginning to hit my groove. Looking back at my calendar, the week was busy with lots of meetings, but it felt less hectic. I’m starting to get used to this new pace and seeing early signs of balance.
• Giving back – I write daily, mainly in an effort to help others. This week I had conversations with five unrelated people who mentioned that my writings are helpful. This felt great! It was encouraging. I’m happy that others find value in my thoughts and experiences.
• Education – I participated in some meetings that educated me on topics I want to master. They reminded me how important it is for me to be intentional and seek out ways to continue to better myself and work toward goals I’ve set for myself.

Week twenty-eight was a busy week, but it didn’t feel as busy as it was. I’m looking forward to settling further into my new groove this coming week.

I’ll continue to learn from this unique situation, adjust as necessary, and share my experience.
