I&amp;rsquo;m not sure if the bottleneck is the wanting, the asking, or feeling like it&amp;rsquo;d be overly burdensome for other people if I ask. I&amp;rsquo;m running an experiment for the next two weeks to gather more data.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;The goal is to teach my nervous system three things: hard asks can be asked; hard asks get a yes more often than I expect; and getting a no to an ask doesn&amp;rsquo;t destroy the universe.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
