It's not problem-solving my goal pursuit, so I'm still going to keep all that to myself.

So if you want to be selfish about the work, fine.

That doesn't mean you have to live selfishly.

Yeah, you know...

I've talked to people all, particularly in career, I've often come away from the thousands of conversations I've had with people kind of going, you know, it's not so much I've decided it's time for me to leave the work.

It's that you start noticing the work has left you.

Very often, I think the signals, the changes coming actually kind of feels like an outside in.

You know, you go into the office and nothing happens.

You know, you're in that thing that used to be enlivening and you go, oh, apparently it's not.

You know, and it's almost like noticing yourself having, it's not the inside.

Now I've been thinking about it a lot and I think the time is up.

I think I've maxed out here.

I think I need to move on as opposed to just like, you know, the soundtrack seems to have stopped.

I think the movie might be over.

So there's an awareness of your experience of something is shifting.

Bill, my partner, talks about the time he was in the car.

He knows exactly where he was on Highway 280 when he's driving into Apple and he suddenly realized, oh, I'm done.

And we spent another year setting up how to quit well.

But the job left him right there.

Yeah, I don't know.
