#conference notes 1. Make this work These jobs, this situation, this capital, this education, this body & brain—commit to making it work. Whining and weaseling out, take it off the table entirely. 2. How's your attitude? 3. It's not too late. It's not too late. It's not too late. You can still do this. Make it like the PO: “You're going to want to quit. Don't quit.” Dog:children::PO:eAchieve 4. Notice, learn, understand, and accept but do not fetishize what works for you and what doesn't. Be OK with that, and plan for it. Everybody has problems. Everybody's special. Everybody has some quirk of work or learning that makes them borderline autistic; conspicuously apologizing for it is just a way to proclaim your special geniusness; skip that part; it's bullshit.
