2025: Redundancy to Relevance.
Made redundant in February. Spent months stuck. Then I stopped trying to be what employers wanted and started being honest.
Writing helped. People reached out with their own stories. Those conversations changed everything.
2026 will be hard and uncertain. But on my terms.
Grateful for everyone who’s been part of this year.

November: Tai Po fire shook HK; we donated. Amid that, my first consultancy win, soft launch into paid work, seniors stuck, swimming lessons on hard learning, and mistakes (4 coffees? Nope). Consistency wins. Hopeful for 2026.

“Hey, Mr Lonely” – friend texted after my loneliness post hit home. Not alone in career transition! Productivity theories flop, but baby steps (no phone in elevators) + trial-and-error help navigate the messy middle. It’s OK. What’s worked for your shift? https://www.browngeek.net/still-adjusting-baby-steps-in-career-transition-and-the-messy-middle/ #CareerTransition #Productivity #PersonalGrowth
Still Adjusting: Baby Steps in Career Transition | browngeek

After redundancy in February, I’m still adjusting to life without structure. My loneliness post resonated widely. I’ve tried productivity theories, but distractions persist. Instead, I’m embracing baby steps and learning through trial and error. The messy middle is OK. What’s worked for you?
