The routine of the work week and the pressure of our job responsibilities can often get the best of us. However, whether it's putting more effort into your job, or finding one that makes you truly happy, its time to commit to your career.

"Ontem fiz 2 horas, com pontas, e hoje vou na tca! Tô marcada pra 2h de estúdio, vamos ver quantas horas vai dar. Até o momento, fiz 7h em janeiro, começando bem perto das 10h de meta do ano passado, que eu consegui bater. "
"Jan 13: 99 words, over 900 steps, and no alcohol. And that last part is especially significant because personal problems and national problems made me feel really REALLY tempted to imbibe. But I did not. That's amazing! Good for me."
"Current major issues in my path:
- Stefan not convinced I’m ready to pursue the promotion this year
- Kashif not demonstrating support in a tangible way
- Missing one sponsor/ very early-stage engagement with Anne PM or Beccy
- Charles has clearly wrong impression
Completed this week
- Worked on ways to address first two issues (Stefan and Kashif)
o Conducted self-assessment of my readiness for promotion using BlackRock’s official promotion criteria, leadership principles, guidance for managers around promotion process
o Planning meeting with Kashif (w/c 19 Jan). Open discussion: “now is the time we decide if we want to pursue this with conviction. I want to have a frank discussion to assess whether we’re convinced of doing it or not. These are the criteria, this is where I think I have strengths, these are the weaknesses – I think there’s a path and I’m serious about pursuing it this year but I’ll need your help mainly advocating for me with Stefan / Charles and subsequently with other stakeholders.
o If Kashif confirms support -> Kashif to speak with Stefan and advocate for me
o Then I’ll speak with Stefan: “open discussion” similar to Kashif, but hopefully he’ll be already more convinced that I can give it a shot this year
- My department (global advisory MDs) will need to agree an initial longlist of candidates for promotion by end of this month / early February. My objective is to create awareness with key MDs that I want this and demonstrate I have the requirements:
o Planned call with Steve Witthun (head of Americas) for w/c 19 Jan
o Planned call with Ashwin (US head of markets) for 13 Jan
- Run Kashif/Stefan approach with friendly stakeholders/ mentors before meetings:
o Planned call with Philippe de Koning
o Planned call with Scott Harris

"this was the breakthrough week. two gates - each reinforced incorrectly - and now corrected. the left side - escape, could have been worse, reinforced by money from elsewhere. on the right: unclear task, low meaning, too big/perfect, now BUT win is only hygeiene and then taken away or disparaged. No incentive to win and all incentive to lose. Everyone was right - Wlazelek, Blanca, even Zegans. And still no one was accurate - the mechanics. But perhaps getting away from parents kills the left and right at the top point and then one can work ones way inward to the actual cognition. But could it have gone the other way - inside out?"
"Thu 8 Jan: I woke up and decided to study instead of writing. Now I’m out for the day. I most likely could write after 8 pm. I just feel really not want to start but I kept feeling bad about not writing. I feel like I really should write tonight so that I could finish the first draft by tonight so that ppl could have time to review and give me feedback tmrw morning during the meeting"
"I was productive for the first part of my day but derailed on the latter half when my friend requested to hang out (I got dinner with him and chilled for the remainder of the evening/night). "
"I didn’t feel much motivation this week. I spent only about 1 hour strategising how to tackle next steps with Stefan and other stakeholders but not much more"
"Ik heb vandaag tijdens het hardlopen een paar keer mezelf gefilmd en gepraat, ik vond het ook helemaal niet erg om te doen, waarschijnlijk omdat het ook donker was op straat en er niemand op straat was"
