I think one of the biggest reasons people have for going back to the office is face to face communication. There is this idea that instead of continuing to embrace and further develop what was created from having to work from home, we should regress back to the way things were. But I think there's … Continue reading Something old, something new
Adding new features vs making things better
When changes get made to something it usually involves adding a new feature, improving an existing one or both. But sometimes the addition of something new isn't helpful, you'd be better off improving what's already there. Often adding something new is about innovation and creativity which doesn't always result in an improved experience for the … Continue reading Adding new features vs making things better
Something to prove
Sometimes the only reason we choose to stick at something is because we have something to prove to ourselves. From the outside it might seem as though we're wasting time and money because the success isn't coming. From the inside we're just not willing to give up yet because we believe that somehow we can … Continue reading Something to prove
All good things must come to an end
When you know that something is coming to an end it can be easy to lose momentum and to lose interest.

From the outside … Continue reading From bad to worse
Do something that scares you

It could also be speaking up when you have something to say, saying no instead of yes or making an appointment with … Continue reading Do something that scares you
Making busy easier
Sometimes in life, all of a sudden you're busy. Things go from being normal one day to all systems go the next. It might feel quite overwhelming because now you have so much to think about and plan. Perhaps you even find that your plans overlap. Now you have to choose what to leave early … Continue reading Making busy easier
Making space for what you want
Sometimes in order to bring in something new, you need to make space for it. A life that is filled to the brim with 'stuff' is not a life that is open to the new. It might seem like the change you want isn't happening or that things aren't working out for you. The reality … Continue reading Making space for what you want
What do you really want to do?
I think sometimes the fear we have of making the wrong choice is really just a sign that our mind is not clear.

More often than we realise we know exactly … Continue reading What do you really want to do?
