<aside> 👋

Welcome. This is my personal operating system (POS) and “user manual”.

The goal is to make it easy to collaborate, care, and communicate with me with less friction and more trust.

TL;DR (1-minute read)

<aside> 📩

Best way to reach me

Write it down first (message or doc). Include context, desired outcome, and a proposed next step.

</aside>

<aside> 🔋

What energizes me

• Deep work and social collaboration (high on both intrinsic motivation and extraversion)
• Clear ownership and achievement (high conscientiousness + achievement-striving)
• Building useful things (high openness + high dutifulness)
• Honest conversations (high morality + high trust)
• Shared momentum with people I care about (high cooperation + high activity level)
• Novel challenges and creative problem-solving (high openness + high adventurousness)
• Seeing my exact contributions create amazing and impactful outcomes
• Helping others succeed (high altruism + high sympathy)
• Bubble milk tea </aside>

<aside> 🪫

What drains me

• Ambiguity (unclear goals / success criteria) — especially draining given high conscientiousness
• Lack of ownership (looped in without an ask) — conflicts with achievement-striving
• Meetings without outcomes (no decisions / no next steps) — low tolerance due to high activity level
• Rework loops (re-litigating without new info) — frustrating for high orderliness + cautiousness
• Context overload (too many threads / switching) — despite high energy, scattered focus drains me
• Repetitive, uncreative work without variety — draining for high openness + low boredom tolerance </aside>

<aside> 🧩

When I'm stressed (rare, given low neuroticism)

I might go quiet, get very task-focused, or become less patient with ambiguity.

Note: My low anxiety/depression scores mean I'm naturally resilient, but can still hit capacity limits.

What helps: clarity, prioritization help, fewer inputs, short reset break, and physical movement.

<aside> 🌱

What I value most: integrity, kindness with directness, autonomy, momentum, and growth.
