Thought Experiment
I am offline. The internet went down and I had to cancel a few meetings. For the moment, I’m by myself.
My first thought: What if it didn’t come back? Not in an end-of-the-world kind of way — not for everyone — but just for me. What if my last meeting was actually my last meeting. What would I do? Would I be ok?
Look, I’m not ready to retire. Professionally, I have more I need to do and more I want to do. At this stage of my life, the question is as impractical as it is necessary to ask. A perfect thought experiment.
Would I be ok if I was done?
What is your answer?
