Every quarter, I sit down and reflect on how the previous
three months have gone in all aspects of my life. This reflection
is less of a hard data review, but more of a check in with myself
as to what I’ve learnt, what’s been good, and what I need to
improve on. It’s always a fun activity, and usually involves
looking back on the entire quarter’s calendar, to-do’s, journal
entries, just to get a feel of what’s happened, and what I can take
forward. The first quarter of 2021 has been an absolute game
changer, and I’m calling this edition of my Quarterly Insights as
the Renewal, because I feel like a totally different person to a
few months ago. I’ve spoken about it briefly in some recent
episodes, in this one, I dive into the triggers, the changes and
how I think I’ve finally put to bed my long struggle with
burnout.
