So, my survival guide for remote workers had already been written, which had been targeted to the knowledge working community (consultants, freelancers and entrepreneurs) who could sell their services to clients which didn’t require their presence 24/7. Given they were more mobile and could live anywhere, then where do they want to put down roots?

Hi and welcome to Saturday’s Episode 39 in Season 2 of “My Pandemic Year Experiment” on this 2nd day of May in the spring of 2020.
Season 1 and 2 are a two-year examination of how bits of wisdom changed during the “normal” pre-pandemic and then in this unfolding pandemic year.

Evidence
Random ones that make me want to change my sign.
“5” Steve McQueen (1930 – 1980): “The future that has seemed so hazy now comes into sharp focus. You’ll be approaching work in new ways. While some deals are stalled, other arrangements can be solidified as you wait.” Aries
And so McQueen’s Holiday Tau was just what I needed for this week’s Patreon publication. How to take advantage of the COVID-19 Pandemic caught the technology community’s disruptive venturing spirit.
“3” Steve Smith, 30: “Though there’s plenty you can learn about yourself outside the context of a relationship, there are many things you figure out quickly by working and playing with others, like you will today.” Gemini
Getting used to “lock down” as a pandemic prevention, surely tests the boundaries of relationships within your own pod, right Emma the Baroness?
“4” Steve Carell, 57; Steve Martin, 74; Steve Wozniak, 69: “With all you’ve experienced, you could write a survival guide. You’ll be compelled to help, but you don’t really have to give any advice or instruction to do so. Your example is enough.” Leo
So, my survival guide for remote workers had already been written, which had been targeted to the knowledge working community who I identified as consultants, freelancers and entrepreneurs who could sell their services to clients which didn’t require their presence 24/7. Given they were more mobile and could live anywhere, then where do they want to put down roots?
“4” Steve Greene, 34; Steve Guttenberg, 61; Stephen King, 72: “Sometimes the bumpy roads lead to the most beautiful places. Other times it’s just more rock and dirt and jostling. Take an enjoyable path and the destination will just be a bonus.” Virgo
As in epic awesome road trips in the West, say to some of my favorite towns on this itinerary?
“3” Steve Kerr, 54: “There is no one better than another, and yet many make easier fits. Of course, fit isn’t everything. Sometimes what you have to grow into or figure out keeps you more interested.” Libra
Just not on the right day. As it applies to the “Work” — in Live, Love, Work, Play, Invest, and Leave a Legacy subtitle to “The Knowledge Path” series — the best fit means matching the right type of organizational talent culture for you. And, if you can’t you may determine which stage of growth fits you better. I’m working on it.
“5” Steve Aoki, 41: “Your story isn’t one narrative. It’s an ever-evolving work of art that you might tell a totally different way one day to the next. This is one way you’ll exercise creative power over your destiny.” Sagittarius
I can’t tell you how often during normal times I’d have to prepare just what my story was and why I was meeting with someone for the first time. Was I a career advisor? Or the chief knowledge officer? Or the organization development consultant? Or the memoirist? Or the blogger?
“4” Steve Jobs, (1955 – 2011): “Life is not about stuff, and yet a few choice items can make your world a bit more fun, safe or smooth today. Figure out what you need. You might be able to trade someone for it.” Pisces
Need? Not much more. Emma the Baroness and I have surprisingly built a comfortable nest egg. More travel, maybe but those trips will have to be postponed, right?

- Just picked up “Bob Dylan In America” by Sean Wilentz. Maybe because of the subliminal messaging like the times are a changing and the answer is blowing in the wind, but I kinda like Sean’s fanboy becomes music critic becomes historian surrounding Dylan’s life and times.
