A sense of purpose for life (and where can I give it concrete form?):
health, family, picking up skills, foreign languages, drawing, everyday art, giving shape to thought, service design, normalstory, appropriate distribution in step with growth, sustainable design.
Do I know, right now, “what kind of person am I?” and “what kind of person should I be?”
And am I not forgetting it? What am I choosing and doing for it?
Am I aiming for employment? Am I looking for what I want to do?
Who am I?
Where do I want to go? Where am I going?
What does it mean to “go somewhere”?

> Cons
- If it’s a web agency, it’s all more or less the same? - Lack of mobile and development environment. - Operating / planning work for business that’s brought in. |
- Grunt work? Office-support? Operator? - Can I voice opinions? - Continued brainstorming and feasibility for app ideas? - Performance of design work? - Loneliness? Doing everything alone? - Self-development and educational growth possible? |
Issue of reactions and adaptation to co-workers beyond the owner. Issue of living expenses and personal health management. In either case, internal education and alignment activities are needed. |
Issue of re-employment later (another career change? or a similar position?). Work on old skills, not cutting-edge ones. Risk of being reduced to consumption of knowledge I already have? No dedicated planning expert. Worry about the possibility of building internal education and shared understanding. Beyond internal education, I have to figure it out alone. |
Have to look for a place to live. |
They say they’ll provide a place, but still the worry about furniture, etc. |
