I don’t have a full time job, I haven’t since November.
I am in the process of redesigning my life, into what?
I am not sure yet.
Why am I redesigning my life?
I saw a glimpse of myself 20 years down my old trajectory in the form of an older colleague and I did not like what I saw.
The one thing I know for sure about myself and I can provide many supporting examples is that I only perform well or perform at all when I have some outwards accountability. Promises/ goals/ plans made to myself are useless. I have never in my 28 years kept one.
When I realised this a few years ago, I felt defeated. Like I had discovered a unfixable major design flaw. I have since come to realise it is liberating. Now when I really want to achieve something I create some outwards accountability and it will be done.
So far, my life redesign has consisted of leaving my full time pharmacist job (my university masters and first job) to learn python with an initial aim of becoming a data scientist or analyst.
However, most importantly, I am redesigning and updating my personal Operating System (OS), with the maxims and principles of people I think I want to be like.
This blog and instagram are my outwards accountability of this journey.
