Goal with the flow
Going with the flow can be exciting but ultimately you are a victim to circumstance. You're letting someone or something else decide how you spend your time. Although it can add pressure to achieve, goal setting provides great focus and intention in your life. I think it depends on your preference. When it all comes … Continue reading Goal with the flow
Sign off stalling
I can understand withholding approval until adjustments are made. The approver wants to see certain changes introduced before they are ready to give their blessing. If you are on the project team, you hope and pray the changes are miniscule. Let's say they are, the team goes away, makes the changes and resubmits the draft … Continue reading Sign off stalling
Do you like yourself?
'I just need to make sure my new boss likes me first then I can relax' 'Do you think I'll get more likes with the red shirt or the blue shirt?' 'Did you like my Albanian picnic story?' Up until recently I thought the pursuit of mutual liking was a worthy goal. You surround yourself … Continue reading Do you like yourself?

I take umbrage with affirmations around outcomes. I think it's lying to yourself and it builds attachment to an outcome. Attachment that, if it doesn't come true, will be more devastating than if you had recognised the truth. That's why I like Seth Godin's phrase so much: 'This might work, this might not work' It … Continue reading Can can

It can be difficult for a master to sympathise with a beginner. They're on level 100 and the novice is struggling with lesson … Continue reading Teachers as students
Productive avoidance
Productive avoidance is when you deliberately choose to do the small easy meaningless tasks first as a way of pushing the large difficult and important tasks further down the line. 'Did you tell our son that he has to move out yet?' 'No but look I got the clothes washed, dried and folded, I cleaned … Continue reading Productive avoidance
Gemini Man
If you ever needed proof that nobody can spot the hits then you need look no further than 'Gemini Man'. According to Wikipedia the movie recorded losses of up to $111.1 million. I don't find that stat shocking because, unfortunately, I saw the movie in a cinema and I thought it was dreadful. I wish … Continue reading Gemini Man
@Kallmekris
@Kallmekris announced on her TikTok channel that she had gotten her first acting gig and I'm not surprised. She's fantastic! Her videos are funny, creative and she posts something new everyday. From what I've read online, she didn't go to acting school. She was actually working as a hairdresser as recently as the start of … Continue reading @Kallmekris
