And with all that time, I’ve been pondering, game-planning and actioning towards a single question: If I gave myself 6 months of runway to not get a “real” job, how would I spend it?ĭuring this time, I’ve received more than a few questions about it: What’re you doing? How’re you spending your time? Are you looking for jobs? What’s your plan? When are you going to start interviewing? What do you do during the day? Could you go to the grocery store for me? And as committed as I’ve been to sitting with the question above, I’ll say I’ve been equally, if not more, self-conscious about having to face this line of questioning along the way. Since then, what this has translated into is time. I left Airbnb in March to join Stop the Spread, was officially laid off in May (yes, comically and gratefully, while on leave) and continued working with Stop the Spread until I parted ways around Labor Day. Here’s the deal: I don’t currently have a job, and I’m not actively looking for one. The question was somewhere along the spectrum of joke and for-real. The reaction definitely took me by surprise Jocelyn I’m sure even moreso. We were nearing the end of a coaching session, and Jocelyn and I had transitioned into a moment of silence. “Am I fucking crazy?!” I found myself uncontrollably interjecting. □ Inspirations: Conan, Active Listening & Martha Beck □ How I’m Spending My Time (aka, Harris’s Roadmap) Last off, here’s a preview of what we’ll dive into today: I’ll be releasing “songs” (in quotes, bc tbd how I actually define this) on my Soundcloud page and also posting to Twitter, if you’d like to follow along. Tomorrow, I will officially kick-off a similar process for my music practice ! I really found value in the structure, focus and momentum that the 30 day model provided for writing, so I’m excited to try the same thing for my music practice. My plan is to write as part of this newsletter (obviously), publish regularly on /daily and apply for the next On Deck Writer Fellowship to sharpen the skills and leverage the power of a community (□ they let me). The learning I’m most excited to share though is that I really do enjoy this writing thing and that I’m planning to continue. ![]() ![]() I also wrote about 6 things I learned through the process. Today, I will have officially completed 30 days of writing 30 posts ! You can see all of the writing on /daily, as well as in this Twitter thread. Second off, I wanted to share a few personal updates: Ha, and I promise this is not meant to shame those that I didn’t hear from or to pressure you to respond to this one. As I texted my buddy, Steve, last week: “I wasn’t not not shitting in my pants when I sent it out.” It was so encouraging to hear back from some of you, as well as a wonderful personal reminder of just how impactful something so seemingly small, like a text or quick note, can be. I’m excited to be back this week with the second newsletter!įirst off, I wanted to mention how grateful I was for the responses to last week’s newsletter.
