Hey, GenXers. If you’re on your way out of corporate (or already gone), there’s one thing that can trip you up on the outside: running the same routines you built to survive in corporate life. You optimize your calendar and habits for a performance review, a manager’s quirks, or a schedule you never liked.
If you leave your job but keep optimizing for the corporate world, you’ll rebuild the same cage.
My friend, we need to do a little deprogramming. Living and building outside of the business environment means you get to allow for different things. Like being an actual human.
So let’s pause, look clearly at the systems you developed to succeed at work, and ask: what do I want to optimize for now? We're not talking about comfort or arbitrary preference. This is about aligning your work with your values.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a simple way to build around what matters to you, not some shifting company metric.
