If everyone has their own path through life and this is mine then I didn't want to just stumble through it. I wanted to be intentional, so I took charge of the direction I was going in. I'd spent many years being just another salaryman becoming a developer that could make a real difference, I'd built my skills to a high level with experience and I knew what my experience was worth. This was my time to get off someone else's ladder.

Being a developer I work on designing systems and problem solving all day every day but I wasn't turning that same problem solving into my own career. My career and therefore my lifestyle was just happening while I was solving other peoples problems. It was time that I turned my gaze inwards.

In the end I was feeling overwhelmed and overworked because I wasn't paying attention to what my freelancing business was doing. I muddled through until I had to look for help, I tried time tracking but that was always based on what happened in the past and that wasn't the part that was keeping me up at night. I was worried about the future, a future that in theory I could control but in reality I was merely an observer.

“Without data, you can’t do anything. I’ve been involved in a lot of management turnaround projects, and one of the first things we do is just measure things,” Bloom tells Asana. “Once you measure and provide that data to people, they tend to look at it and spot weaknesses in the business,” Bloom adds.
