Over the years, here’s what I’ve learned about what enables me to be my best: I’ve received at least eight hours of sleep the night before. I’ve done something productive early in the day, which motivates me to keep the momentum going. I know what my desired outcome looks like before I start. I have trust and camaraderie with the people I work with. I’m able to process information alone (and through writing) before big discussions or decisions. I feel like I’m learning and growing.
