Reminder to Myself

[genderjumper]

This is a good place to think out loud or get input from peers.

Topics that need messy, process-y attention soon:

1. Navigating a squishy flexible workload so there's enough time for the concrete elements to actually get done.
2. When and how to refer out a client whose emotional needs are more than I can handle and interfering with care support.
3. How to seal the deal with squishes: I want these people in my life and/or work and there's no time to hold back.
4. The Ordinal Chaos Index: some vague but ongoing measure of how chaotic things are on a personal, communal, or population scale.
5. Time to start closing doors again on people who are not engaging me on social media despite good faith efforts.
6. I probably also need help translating prospective clients into paychecks, colleagues into mentors/mentees.
7. Do I bother warning my friends and communities that now is the time to invest in communal support, not to wait for their rugged individualism to catch up? If so, how? If not, how do I let go of the notion I should.
8. Do I need to be more proactive in sharing my own foibles on social media? If so, who am I sharing them for? If not, why not?
9. (2a?) Am I becoming a magnet for energy vampires or am I actually helping them? What are my expectations and limitations either way?
10. My coaching work needs clearer goals, for me and for the clients.
