some of my thoughts and notes

Professional Incompetence

Sometimes during my work, especially when I have a lot of energy, and when my mood is almost unshakeable, I seem to push it “a bit too far”.

The reality usually is: I pushed it a bit too far a couple of days or weeks ago, but now I simply have the courage to actually experience the consequence of that. I'd like to call this phenomenon “professional incompetence”.

It feels paradoxical in the moment: as soon as I face my own incompetence I can feel it more than before, but at the same time I'm also being more professional than before.

Professional incompetence is about facing ones own incompetence and dealing with it in a professional manner.
