#0604 Groundwork
I was ignoring the fundamental issue. For years I have spent countless hours and good money just trying to keep my back lawn alive. No matter what I have tried, I have failed. Why, not…
#0603 Snap Out Of It
I heard a stat that posited by age thirty five, 95% of our day is unconscious routine. If this is true, only 5% therefore is conscious thought, a scary thought in itself. Are we so…
#0602 Listen Up
When was the last time you truly listened to the conversation. I mean, truly listen. Not allowing your mind to wonder, thinking about what to say next, waiting for your turn to speak. Had my…
#0601 Compare and Contrast
No good comparing their after to your before or emulating what they do now rather than what they did. You cannot run their race and they cannot run yours. Their insta profile is not the…
#0598 Out of Your Control
What if you smiled at the things out of your control no matter what. The weather, the traffic, global events, the economy, interest rates. We’d probably all be happy ninety percent of the time.
#0596 Nailed It
In a world where there’s an app for that, should you do it yourself. A dilemma I find myself in often. If it is easy, quick and probably cheap to do it yourself, should you….
#0593 Your Best Year
Have you ever pulled apart a smartphone, precision engineering at its finest. Yet they improve on it year on year. Apple could have stopped when they hit iPhone 4 as it was far ahead of…

It’s the little things you should pay attention to. These are the things that make you stand out from the other 98%. The biscotti with your coffee, the thank you note, the attention do detail…
#0576 Not So Grumpy
Listening rather than talking.Asking more, telling less.Being opened and not closed minded.Positivity in preference to negativity.Smiling over scowling. These are the traits I now look for in others, but also a reminder to emanate them…
#0575 Autopilot
A deep insight from a good friend… “On many days, I wake up with largely the same thoughts, thereby triggering largely the same emotions, thereby driving the same behaviours, thereby creating the same experiences day…
#0572 Clean Up
What you carry slows you down. Letting go is often hard but an essential step for progress. That idea that did not pan out, the toxic relationship, the stuff you bought but never use. It…
#0565 Too Much Noise
Having spent just a few days off grid, you realise that most of the day to day communication forced upon you is just noise. Adding almost no value but robbing you of time and focus….
#0564 Get It Done Now
How urgent is it really. Leaving it to the last minute will always increase the stress and urgency of any task. Chasing the ball is exhausting, yet anticipating where it will be makes it look…
#0563 Months Wasted
It happens year after year. The holiday season creeps up on us like it is a big surprise. Either desperately attempting to finish things off or delaying them until the new year. Reappearing in January…
#0556 Keep Tweaking
