I’ve been finding in myself that I have a lot of “spare” time. I get back from work fairly late. I leave the office around 18.00-18.30 and I usually walk which takes around half an hour. I get home and eat around 19.00-19.30 – sometimes later and then I am “lost”. I tend not to watch television. I will read sometimes perhaps up to an hour and then? I maybe do some yoga for 15 minutes. And then?
I’ll have some tea with my family around 21.00
I try to get to bed around 23.00
What else can I do? I try not to get sucked into my phone.
I’ve been reading Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning and I believe I’m experiencing an “existential vacuum”. I don’t have a purpose. So I thought I’d try to write stuff.
I have some ideas on my professional life that I can perhaps expand into something interesting. But I think the main thing is to be interested in doing it rather than trying to make something that is useful for others.
Some of my trains of thought:
– How organisations work like people. How people work like organisations.
– Do what someone asks first and then show them an alternative.
– Simple principles for handling customers.
– Having lines in the sand for negotiating (just being able to have a conversation)
We’ll see if and how this develops.
