Practical career advice for ambitious young professionals

May 19, 2020 Published my first career handbook

I had originally planned to publish 12 of these in 2020. But as of mid-September, I finally finished my first long-form article.

Taking inspiration from Julian Shapiro, I've tried my hand at a similar styled handbook that teaches how to get started with Getting Things Done.

I learned that I need a better writing process and a deadline. I can't spend 9 months writing something that only 20 people will read. I need to increase my number at bats without sacrificing the quality of my writing.

But at least getting the first one under my belt removes the fear of doing the next one. Onward and upward!

I write because I believe that there are many young professionals who are not equipped with the habits and skills to be effective at work. And not everyone has access to a good manager/mentor who will teach them.
