Every Friday at 4:45pm, I spend 15 minutes jotting down: • One win (with numbers if possible) • One challenge I navigated • One thing I learned That's it. Takes 15 minutes. After a year? I had rock-solid evidence of my impact for my performance review. My boss was floored by my "incredible memory" for results. Not memory. Just good notes. 😉

I’m feeling a bit directionless about what to do with my ‘career’. I’m currently working in retail and I feel like I’m way behind other people my age. Being in my 20's, I’m seeing people I went to school with graduate and get good jobs. I know comparison is the thief of joy but I’m also not fulfilled in my job it’s not just about comparing myself to others. I'm still young, I know. What would you do in my position? I wouldn’t mind just a regular office job like so many people seem to have.

Over my career I've built a broad, generalist skill set - but with the rise of AI and increasing specialisation, I'm wondering if this is still the best way to stay relevant or if I should double down on a specific focus like brand, product, or digital marketing. Has anyone faced a similar fork in the road, and how did you decide whether to go niche or stay general? Did it limit your career opportunities, or open them up?
