A label called Career - why did I miss this?

People say sitting on toilet komod, one can get innovative ideas. I got two today- 1. start working on developing a public policy module to request universities/institutions to admit me as visiting faculty, 2. why there is no label titled 'Career' in my autobiography blog?

There maybe one explanation for the latter- I haven't made any distinction between my personal and professional goals while thinking about the future. Although this two are interlinked, I can see most of my posts under labels such as TimeStamp, Event, Decision, Conversation are related to career. Fuck ! This certainly means I am giving way too much time for the thoughts related to my career bit. This also means I am putting other things such as Xomidhan, book writing, exploring new thoughts in the back burner or I am not writing about them at all, although they represent a huge part of my life, things that I love doing.

This is actually a good realization. From another perspective, labels such as Timestamp/Event are not going to give much input while drafting a final autobiography in later stage of my life.

So, here comes the decision: I am going to make two new labels today - Career and Intangibles. Let me define the two below:
Career: Only those posts related to my thoughts (future or past) for a professional career (i.e. that pays me money). If any career related post falls in the Conversation or Decision category, those two will get priority.
Intangibles: This will feature those posts related to the intangibles of human life such as volunteering, hobby, passion, travel, doing hatke things etc.Mostly those things that I planned to include in the 'measurable parameters of intangibles' after conversation with Alex.  Relationships may also fall in this category unless I don't make a separate category called 'Relationship' (I have plans though).

Introduction of the two labels today resulted in removing two labels namely 'Conversation' & 'Timestamp', along-with lot of reshuffle of posts.
