My Areas of Focus

This document outlines the key domains of my life that require ongoing attention and management. I use these areas to provide high-level context for my daily planning and tasks, and to ensure I'm distributing my energy in a way that supports my overall well-being and goals.

I'll review these areas regularly to assess where I'm at and what actions I need to take to maintain or improve each one.

My Core Areas of Focus:

  • Examples: Self-care practices, seeking support, engaging in activities that affirm my identity, practicing mindfulness, addressing anxiety.
  • Guiding Question: What am I doing to support my gender journey and mental peace today?
