Radical Honesty
My Flaws
I believe in transparency. Here are the things I'm not great at, the patterns I'm working to change, and the blind spots I'm aware of. This page exists because self-awareness is the first step to growth.

Areas for Growth
Things I'm Working On
Impatience
I often want results faster than is realistic. This can lead to frustration with processes that naturally take time, and sometimes rushing decisions that deserve more thought.
Over-complicating
I have a tendency to make things more complex than they need to be. Simple solutions often work better, but I'm drawn to elaborate systems and frameworks.
Selective Socializing
I can be too selective about who I spend time with. While I value deep connections, I sometimes miss opportunities to learn from people outside my usual circles.
Analysis Paralysis
I can spend too much time researching and planning instead of taking action. The pursuit of the "optimal" choice sometimes prevents me from making any choice at all.
Overconfidence
When I've studied a topic deeply, I can become too confident in my views. I need to remember that expertise in one area doesn't transfer to others, and that I can always be wrong.
Saying No
I struggle to say no to interesting opportunities, which can lead to overcommitment. Not everything worth doing is worth doing right now, and focus requires sacrifice.
Current Focus
Active Improvements
Daily Meditation
Building patience through consistent practice. Helps with the impatience and need for control.
2-Minute Rule
If a decision takes longer than 2 minutes, I'm probably overthinking it. Just decide and adjust.
Weekly Review
Reflecting on where I was overconfident or wrong. Keeping a log of predictions and outcomes.
