I also realized that for a lot of things, I didn’t actually mind going just by myself or with my partner. I ended up missing out on doing a few things I wanted to because I waited too long for other people to confirm.
So, I consciously switched over to a non-blocking model. I started phrasing things as, “I’m going to do this thing. Everyone is welcome to join” rather than “let’s go do this thing, when is everyone free?”
There’s a definite trade off - it’s less inclusive but more liberating.
Random thoughts about “blocking” vs “non-blocking” in the context of social interactions
By nature, I am a social planner and organizer. I think I was a sheepdog in a previous life 😂 I often initiate social plans, it brings me joy and reward.
I noticed a while ago that I started accumulating some undue anxiety from waiting for other people before going ahead with a plan. The bigger the invite, and the higher the level of commitment, the more anxious I felt during the “waiting” stage.
I'm starting my search for my next full-time role!
I'd ideally like to join a company on the smaller side (<100) as an Engineering Manager. I've had the most fun building and scaling teams, and working in product-facing teams!
I'm based in Canada and have a US passport, and prefer remote. If you know anyone hiring, please connect me! I can be reached at [email protected] or DMs here.
