Your Calendar Is Telling On You

I've long believed that my purpose is to make beautiful things and love my people dearly. But it took a sizable life chapter shift to help me actually reorient my days around that belief. I'm specifically curious like how did you reorient your days to get closer to that? — It looked like spending more time with the people that I actually wanted to win. Like I think in a work context it looks like instead of just taking all the meetings to make yourself feel like you're being productive and being a good VC, like actually just spend time with the ones that you're the most excited about and carve away time for like serendipity and like scouting in the places where you want to find people and then also just like save that time for going deep with the ones that really surprise you and that you really like. And so I think it was something like that where it was like okay actually like the right kind of balance for me is a lot less meetings than your average VC per week and it's a lot more time for me to think develop my theory of a person to spend time with them and to develop my own kind of like ideas about the world and how I see things and have time to write and so it was basically carving out time for that in a work context and then also carving out more time for my friends.
