"You know what? It'll just be quicker for me to do it" I've often fallen into this trap. In this situation communication can be a productivity hack. To have sufficient descriptive abilities could redistribute the workload and free up time for yourself. Who would've thought accurately describing where to find the custom meta tags would … Continue reading Describing delegation →

Carrying limiting self beliefs is like going through life with the handbrake on. It's like having a self imposed glass ceiling.

I'd say zoo owners are terrified of the shortening attention span crisis. Why? Because the stars of their show didn't get the memo.

It's funny how we try to control fun. How we seek to stimulate it and ensure it is ever present. Lulls in conversation are to be avoided at all costs!
