One of the most formative experiences in my career as a design executive was the realisation that there’s no point when all the problems and challenges are resolved, yet you can still be alright.
Glad to see your great writing here, Vlad! The concept of “undone” reminded me of constant WIP (“work in progress”) we used at Miro. Remember how we organised a meetup with that name? 😉 Nice times.
I liked the idea—such an inversion, from habitual thinking—“In fact, by choosing a person, you are choosing a set of problems to deal with”. Such a metaphor came up, a partner like the balance sheet then, there are assets and liabilities, how much are you willing to turn liabilities into assets so that the enterprise becomes profitable for yourself.
Great that you also mention partners. Which come in many roles and types. Inspiring and mindfull.
Thank you for you comment, Michiel!

Exactly, Kate — constant WIP!
