Time is constant but different stages of life carry different meaning.  Chronos versus kairos.  These special stages might have gaps between them but can also overlap as the thread of significance may be more personal, family, professionally, etc oriented.

Thinking about the recent future I can define two trigger moments when new stages commenced and led me to writing this post today: meeting my now wife five years ago in Singapore and embarking on an IVF journey together, and being approached for my current role as Managing Director Publicis Groupe Hong Kong.

I don't plan to get into the reason for writing but my primary reflection as I do is my tendency to discard information—specifically in this case, material I have written—after I have mastered it, changed my mind about it, or moved on for whatever reason.  I regret this as it's 1) a missed opportunity to learn from myself, 2) deletes trace of incremental gains, and 3) prevents me quickly sharing with others when I think it might be useful.
