5 minute journal
Review of the day
Day started off well where I had ~7 hours of sleep and because I did this journal last night I thought I had a solid game plan for priorities and things to do today. However, day was fairly bad after that. In particular because I got into a few hostile meetings with my manager because he didn’t inform me about work being done for products I own. I ultimately felt disrespected and felt like I didn’t have direction. I’m upset enough that I’m considering leaving. I also spoke with my cousin Dave, and half the convo was about him and how tracy now met his parents because his parents showed up outside to a house viewing unnanounced. This was impactful to him because he had mentioned how meeting his parents is end-game and so he’s worried that this progressed the relationship in a way he wasn’t ready. The second half of it was of the challenges with my mum when I went back home this past break.
Things I did well
I created JIRA issues and noted down my thoughts today. I think this is worth mentioning because I struggle with writing down my thoughts and consistency.
Things I could better
Losing my temper and saying silly hurtful things like “isn’t doing anything”, I know better but somehow I keep saying these very general broad stroke statements and it really dilutes my point and is also an asshole thing to do. I should try to avoid these kind of statements.
Top 3 tomorrow
