It's now a full week after New Year's Day. How are you goals, resolutions or plans coming along? You might find that after 7 days you're still enthusiastic and motivated or you might have found that you've lost steam. If you resonate with the latter then it might be useful to ask yourself why? Why … Continue reading Setting goals and losing steam

Unexpected circumstances
Whether you're stressed, organised or relaxed as you go through life, unexpected circumstances will arise. It isn't necessarily anything good or bad but rather something you haven't planned for, something that you did not anticipate. Often these things knock us for 6 and we find ourselves stuck or setback. I think that comes from the … Continue reading Unexpected circumstances
Making a mountain out of a molehill
It might not be such a bad idea. When it comes to creating content, you have so many options: blog posts, Instagram feed, Insta-stories, IGTV, YouTube, podcasts, tweets etc. I've been thinking about how instead of just creating one thing, you can share one piece of content across different platforms. That's a great way to … Continue reading Making a mountain out of a molehill
Here’s why I stopped writing monthly todo lists
They didn't work for me. At the start of every month I used to write a bunch of goals (well more like to-dos), maybe around 25. At the end of every month I never failed to have at least a few things left. 28-31 days is a long time to plan for and I found … Continue reading Here’s why I stopped writing monthly todo lists
On being content with not becoming a writer
Or at least trying to be. I remember being around 16 or 17 telling a classmate about my writing hobby and that I had thought of doing it as a career. At the time I was pretty lost with regard to career plans and my civil engineering dream was becoming less and less likely. My … Continue reading On being content with not becoming a writer

Person B Someone who does what they're told and is content ploughing along. They might want to do more but they're unlikely … Continue reading 3 kinds of people in the workplace
Aspirations, assurance and an abundance of ideas
A few months ago I had an idea for my book and I planned to spend my summer writing in-between picnics, parties and Prosecco. But summer came, summer went and nothing ever came of that book idea. Infact, I don't even remember the idea that I had. But then a few days ago I had … Continue reading Aspirations, assurance and an abundance of ideas
Should we be attached to the outcome?
Yes, no, maybe so. There's a thing in NLP about outcome based actions, that what we do should be based on the outcome we desire. But recently I found myself thinking about how it's important to not be too attached to the way things turn out. At least not to the point where you crash … Continue reading Should we be attached to the outcome?
The beginning of the end
With 2019 on its way out, now is the perfect time to start tying up loose ends. October marks the beginning of the last quarter and I think the next few months are going to be pretty important. Now is a great time to do things you've been putting off, resolve any issues and have … Continue reading The beginning of the end
1000 and something days ago
Can you remember where you were at in life 3 years ago? Did you have a job? Where did you work? Were you happy? How were you spending your free time? Where did you live? What were you reading?
