Accepting weaknesses

Weaknesses are an inbuilt quality for any person. Overcoming them is quite a task but can be fruitful for the long run. If you can accept that you can't be multi-tasking and focused at the same time on all of them, it is better to accept the truth and move on.

Laying out goals of what you want to achieve can be a good lead to begin with. And that's what I learnt. A bootstrapped/early-stage start-up is not to begin your zeal with, unless you're a fresher. Your character is sewed upon your first job and it's nature. If your job demands are ruthless and dynamic, so will your career will be. If it is more of a disciplined and streamlined way of work, like in any big organization, you cannot adjust to the extremities of workloads all the time. Context switching becomes deadly. It reduces your efficiency and reduces your contribution overall.

That's what happens in a start-up. Things can go out of proportion and the work surmounts to such a level that you might feel the end of days. A small deviation can lead to an extra week of delivery delays. Some simple tasks start to look big. A challenge in itself.

A well defined job role is my nature. And always was. Only that, I ventured into the unknown of pushing myself into extremes. And boy, that was hard!
