You have it scheduled and you’ve set a goal to do something by a certain date. You’ve picked the date. It’s far enough away to feel achievable and close enough to feel real. You’ve told yourself this time is different. You’ve maybe told a few other people, too. The goal is clear, the deadline is…
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. That’s the answer. The question is whether you actually believe it. Perhaps think of the biggest problem you are facing, and you may be staring at the elephant you need to eat, overwhelmed by how massive it is, convinced there’s no way you can…
A lot of people are bored at work — more than would ever admit it, and in some industries, far more than others. Not burned out. Bored. There’s a difference, and it matters more than most people realise. Burnout gets all the attention. It’s dramatic. It makes good copy. There are TED talks about it,…

And they’re making terrible decisions that they don’t even realise are terrible, which is precisely what makes them so dangerous. It’s not the incompetent person…
Everyone’s a winner on LinkedIn. Every post is about crushing goals, smashing targets, and achieving incredible success. You’d think nobody ever failed at anything. You’d think every business decision was a stroke of genius, every investment returned 300%, and every career move was perfectly timed. You’d think failure didn’t exist, that the road to success…
Your brain wants you to make decisions fast. Not good decisions. Not thoughtful decisions. Just fast ones. This made perfect sense when you were running from predators on the savannah. It makes considerably less sense when you’re choosing a career, ending a relationship, or deciding whether to send that angry email. This is called Doubt…
Does your happiness depend on what other people think? Read that again. Does it sound ridiculous? It should. But if you’re someone who constantly seeks approval, needs praise before you act, or measures your worth by how others respond to you, then congratulations. You’ve just outsourced your entire emotional wellbeing to people who probably aren’t…
