I think it’s going to be rather easy to become consumed by my job. Moving cities, getting a promotion, being asked to do a lot at work, not knowing what the real priorities are. I do feel a certain weight of responsibility. I was chosen by the big dawgs upstairs to do this job. There’s lots of new things to learn about – but also rather low expectations about what we can deliver.

I know we’ll (the team that is) deliver more than is expected, but I’m also conscious that we don’t rush into making drastic changes without considering what we can’t undo once we’ve done something. Thanks Robin Hobb for that rather fitting quote!

So, how to I ensure that I have a life outside of work??
