Today marked the end of my twenty-second week of working from home (mostly). Here are my takeaways from week twenty-two:

• Safe place – This was week two of working in a safe office space part of the week. I was focused and productive, which I needed. I enjoyed the separation between home and work. I feel better mentally.
• Pace – This past week and weekend were busy. The preparation for Start It Up Georgia and following up with attendees took more time than I planned for. I wouldn’t change anything about it, but I’m looking forward to a slower pace this weekend and next week.
• Paying it forward – I made a point of following up with Start It Up Georgia attendees who reached out. I had meetings with some of them this week and will have more over the next two weeks. It’s a big time commitment but I think it will be worthwhile. I’m excited to continue seeing the energy people bring to entrepreneurship. It feels good to play a role (albeit a small one) in their journey.

Week twenty-two was a busy one. Lots of moving pieces with high stakes. Luckily everything went well. I was happy to give back to others. Next week I’ll spend more time on large projects.  

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