##### [[20221031|<]] 15th November 2022 [[20230417|>]] It's slightly more than a week since I've been holed up in this hotel on my own 'retreat' to just hunker down, get some work done and also kickstart my planning for 2023. One of the things I've learnt over the years is that trying to figure out what I want a whole year ahead isn't something done in a few days - it's something that requires me to have an uninterrupted conversation with myself. 2023 looks set to be one of the more(most?) challenging years for me to be navigating. The world is uncertain across so many dimensions that I, too, would have to navigate through all that uncertainty. How will I know what can or cannot be done or what is a reasonable expectation of an outcome? How then do I reconcile all that uncertainty and still shoot for the targets in my professional and personal areas? How do help others along the way too? I'm wondering how others are navigating this uncertainty - it feels like many of my peers are still unaffected by this (except on the interest rate fronts) or perhaps everyone's just putting on a brave front.
