While we all want to believe that we view our professional world objectively, the reality can be quite different.

I am starting to see regret as a form of perfectionism. Regret assumes that a perfect decision was waiting to be made, and that we failed to make it.

"A monster hiding in the dark will never be as scary once you’ve turned on the light."

As you know, I like learning about and sharing different productivity and wellbeing strategies, but I never assume they’ll work for everyone.

In Stoicism, "suffering twice" refers to the suffering we cause ourselves by worrying about things that might never happen.

“Imposter syndrome is a paradox: others believe in you, you don’t believe in yourself, yet you believe yourself instead of them.” — Adam Grant.

Radical Acceptance, in its simplest form, can be expressed as follows: Pain + Resistance = Suffering.

Somewhere along the way, many of us picked up the idea that we should finish what we start. It's what adults do. But…

According to Merriam-Webster, kairos means “a time when conditions are right for accomplishing a crucial action”.

Have you ever noticed how we often confuse perfectionism with having high standards?

We are often encouraged to keep pushing for more: more output, recognition, results... For some of us, "more" has become a default state. We don't question it.

If I ever feel anxious, embarrassed, or worried about something I did, I try to remember the Spotlight Effect.

Do you "think to talk" or "talk to think"? Most of the time, I think to talk. But sometimes, I like to discuss things to test or develop my thinking.

Learning to say no might be the most important investment you make in your wellbeing, ever.

I’ve been thinking a lot about procrastination lately (insert procrastination joke here!).

Many of us treat personal change as a pass/fail test. Anne-Laure Le Cunff’s Tiny Experiments, in my opinion, offers a far better approach: act like a scientist of your own life and learn from what happens.

I read an interesting article recently (link in comments) about how we can be thermostats or thermometers in group settings.
