Win,
I am done with *****, have completed and published the book we were negotiating when I last saw you, and I'm recovering from my grandmother's death . . . and just left wondering!

I'm in a bit of a "mood," if I can freely confess, and am loathe to take on job I don't want, but know it's time to get another one. Trying to get into a more positive mindset!

Can you wave a magic wand?
Terry


Hi Terry,
Sorry to hear about your grandmother. Your thoughts around that sound like figuring out the relative place of work within your wider life might be something to discuss.

As for a magic wand, yes: for any and all jobs or projects, try to list your accomplishments (even if you never need to do whatever it was again.) I do this in an old resume, using the reverse chronological format. List all accomplishments, big and small ones within a bigger project. I call this document an Experience Bank; it is a resource for the future. The idea here is to be exhaustive, not exclusionary and see if that doesn't help remind you of what you can do, have done and like!
Win
