A few observations

- I find 5% for any investments very low. It is hard to get deeper into a new topic with that level. Our work has very high context switching costs.

- at the moment I work one day on another project requiring a fair amount of learning. While I learn a lot this way I found the two project setup exhausts my ability to push yet another set of things forward. There are limits to my ability to manage initiatives.

- the whole agile treadmill can be leveraged by management against self management. I found slowing down things and pushing myself to explore alternatives in my 80% block helps a bit to stem the tide.
