(no subject)

Things to remember in my current gig:

• I'm easily overwhelmed with too many choices and get impatient and then shut down.
• Slow down
• Be curious
• Then I need to have compassion for myself for not figuring it out faster.
• Remember that talking it out with someone who wants to help and has an outside point of view will help more than I can imagine.
• Don't take it personally.
• You don't know the whole story
• Don't panic

I am the most tech savvy one in my department. And the only one who can advocate for tools and resources within my sphere of work to boss and grand boss. It's been a while since I've been in this position. I was maybe a bit overly comfortable to complacent with not having to lead that charge over the last 10 years of my work.
