Work and money
What you are building, and what it is for
Work takes up most of your waking hours, and most people never sit down and ask it a straight question.
These do. Not about the CV. About what you would do with a free Monday, what enough looks like, and who you want beside you for the next ten years.
What part of your work would you do for free? What part would you not do for double the pay?
What were you doing the last time you lost track of time at work?
What would you do for work if status did not exist?
What problem do you keep noticing that nobody seems to be fixing?
What does enough money look like? As a number, and as a life.
What did you learn in the last year that you could not have looked up?
Who would you like to work with for the next ten years? Why them?
What are you spending money on that is not making your life better?
What one skill would change your options most if you got good at it?
What would you build if you knew it would take ten years and be worth it?
When has work felt like play? What was different about it?
What good work are you doing that nobody sees?
If your work disappeared tomorrow, what would you miss, and what would you be relieved about?
What would you tell someone starting your career today?
