Experiences change you.

And it’s up to you to notice these changes.

April first marks one year of working at a startup.

Today I had a realization that in this past year, I have not looked at the clock wishing it was later in the day with the desire to leave work earlier.

In the past year I’ve looked at the clock wish there was more time left in the day.

This is in contrast to my previous job — where I would find myself watching the clock.

(Admittedly this was in part because of the nature of my previous job, being run based on shifts and not arrive and leave when you want.)

I think the mindset change as well as the feeling of personal investment in the company are among the most noticeable.
