I've never lived in the same place for more than 3 years...so my identity is rooted in my Kafkaesque (not really though) metamorphosis/ growth.
The most important thing I try to manage / change and evaluate is habits. Habits take ~21 days to form, but often longer, and I notice that I fall into different 'cadences" over time. I try to reflect 2-3 times a year about these new habits and whether they are healthy (waking up earlier and earlier) or not (things like phones at the dinner table). Its super hard to 'actively' break them (most times I don't), but at least I can understand how they shape me.
And agree with your observations on the power of cultivating conscious change - something we should be teaching at scale and in schools. I write about how to help better prepare their kids for a world defined by accelerated change and disruption, now at The LongRange and previously at Fast Company and one theme that regularly surfaces is how it looks to actually better prepare kids to thrive at the idea of change. e.g. changing cultural frameworks on things like having a "best friend." https://www.fastcompany.com/3051156/how-to-raise-kids-who-thrive-in-the-new-economy
Thanks for sharing Madhu.

Great stuff Bhai.
Realising and acknowledging your mistake is the most effective method to grow in your professional as well as personal life.
Cute 🐕

Good read, Madhu. Question. What does retro-respectively mean? Is it same as retrospectively?
