sure, corona fucked things up, but it also kinda shook things up, adjust and take advantage of the opportunities it opened up....which wont become clear what those are just yet, just be ready.

oh same, quarterly goals are a bitch to write and hit. are you using a S.M.A.R.T. criteria to make it easier to make a case for yourself?

Specific – target a specific area for improvement.
Measurable – quantify or at least suggest an indicator of progress.
Assignable – specify who will do it.
Realistic – state what results can realistically be achieved, given available resources.
Time-related – specify when the result(s) can be achieved.

I always have an in-depth project in the back pocket. When things slow down I pull that one up and put it out there. No one asked for it, no one was looking for it, I just hit em with it like: https://media.giphy.com/media/xzhqJf1uc2K2s/giphy.gif

Like for example, outside of day to day projects, I'm winding up a research project to build up a clear image of users at the firm. I can technically go to HR and ask for a demographic breakdown but they can only go so far, like, they will not be able to tell me (legally) the age breakdowns or group numbers by age. Senior staff members here are unsurprisingly older folks and they love using iPads, yet we keep pushing PC laptops on them. AND our new crop of associates are...visually extremely different, we got a few with septum piercings, a brother with cornrows, a few bigass zz top looking fuckers....and this in the most corporate of places, like, THE-THE ivory fucking tower.

Whenever I drop these back pocket projects on leadership it puts my name out there and raises the bar. The only bad thing is that it makes it harder to slack off in the future.
