I'm an accountant. Accountants are notoriously bad at communication. Often, someone chooses to become an accountant because numbers are so straightforward.

In the very few moments when I wasn't working this year, I was thinking about working better. I got in over my head by saying yes to all work that came my way. Why did I say yes? Saying yes was my lifeline out of pandemic limbo. It combined with my life training not to [...]

Photo by Noah Silliman on Unsplash Hi, Yesterday you inspired me to write this post. Why? Because I only write about what I know, and everything you said resonated with me.
