What do Instagram and mobile phones have in common?
They both began with having a single use but overtime have become multi-functional. Those of us with smart phones may find that we no longer have use for: mp3/4 players, cameras, torches, home telephones, address books, calendars, calling cards for overseas calls, photo albums or even a laptop. Instagram has done the same but instead … Continue reading What do Instagram and mobile phones have in common?
The rise and fall of Clubhouse
Over the past few months I've written various posts about Clubhouse. I wrote about how it had had grown but also my thoughts on the future. Over the past month or so it seems that Clubhouse has fallen. I believe it to be because the app came out whilst many of us were in lockdown. … Continue reading The rise and fall of Clubhouse
Give it a week

When you've been doing something for a long time whether it's beneficial to your life or not, it can be difficult to just let it go. Even if you know it's not good for you, … Continue reading Hard to break
That’s not like you

It could be anything from playing sports to wearing false nails, hiring a cleaner to watching stand up comedy. These aspects help shape the kind of people we end up becoming. However, sometimes we reach … Continue reading That’s not like you
Age and experience
If you find yourself taking on the role of 'the person that knows best', you might find yourself getting carried away. Often it is age and experience that deems a person eligible to claim to know best but those things aren't always determining factors. A person might be older but perhaps their experience isn't applicable … Continue reading Age and experience
Actions and feelings
Often we hesiste to take action because we're waiting on a feeling. For example, you hesitate to lead, speak up or contribute because you're waiting on confidence. And so, you wait and put things off hoping that in time the confidence will come. But the confidence may never come. You don't become more confident by … Continue reading Actions and feelings
