One of the most important things about any career is continued learning. If you can learn something new every week, you’ll stay happy and more fulfilled (a quick Google search for “learning and happiness” will bring up a ton of articles explaining why this is true).
In my own career, I’ve gone through periods of learning and times when not much changes or is new. What I’ve slowly realized over the years is that this is something I should pay explicit attention to and understand my learning rate over larger periods of time when it’s easy to lose sight of the importance of this.
As both reflective and forward motivating, I hope this once-a-week series of posts can be useful to both you and me. If anything, maybe you can learn something from my week.
