#0662 Go Deep
Stay with that thought. In meditation we aim to allow a thought to pass and then focus back on our breath. Thoughts come and go and that is the point. If you are trying to…

#0660 A Simple Existence
Where does the time go. At the blink of an eye I find myself in the latter years thinking about how to make the most of whatever time is afforded me. We spend so much…
#0659 The Cost of Email
When someone sends you an email, is it reasonable to expect a response within a day if not hours. I am conflicted on this one. Yes is my immediate reaction especially if the email is…
#0651 Navigating New
It has taken humans millions of years to evolve and AI just a whisper of time. Of course it will be flawed, a minefield of questions and many rabbit holes to explore. On your personal…
#0648 Contemplating
There is a runway. You do not care in your twenties, distracted by maturity in your thirties and far too busy in your forties to even notice. Then it hits you, how much longer do…
#0647 The Merry Go Round
Round and round we go. If you find yourself in a loop, chances are you have reached the end of your expertise. Repeating the same things over in loop will not make them work any…
#0646 The Divide
Ideas are a dime a dozen. Everyone has at least one world changing concept, but few are able to execute on it. The tools are democratised so will that bring more innovation, undoubtedly. There will…
#0641 Choose Something
There are at least 67 gajillions ways. Since when are we skinning cats anyway, rabbits I would understand. There are just as many choices in business and it can be overwhelming. Rather than default to…
#0640 Decisions Decisions Decisions
How do you make decisions. Gut feel, experience, research, peers. Are you quick to decide or take your time. Are you a first mover or laggard. Do you make many decision or none. Does fear…
#0632 The Naive Approach
The sum total of a project can seem overwhelming. Thinking through every element, permutation, effort, cost and risk may well stop you from progressing. There is something to be said for the naive who are…
#0630 And Not Or
Time, cost and quality. Spoiler alert, AI might not be the answer. When evaluating any new system or process there will be a primary benefit and secondary benefits or compromises. Ideally you want improvement on…
#0623 Swings and Roundabouts
Some parts of the country are underwater whilst others are experiencing severe drought. Globally we are seeing extremes in climate and also in business. There are those that are killing it and many are struggling….
#0620 Innovate
It probably will not work, but try anyway. The task sucks, so find a better way. Do not assume it has to be done that way. Put in the reps, fine tune what you do,…
#0619 Seek Diversity
There is tension in diversity. You may not look, sound, think or eat the same. Yet diversity is where innovation flourishes. The delicate fusion of ideas that on paper should not work yet often do….
#0616 Learn Fast
By the time you think it is perfect, the moment may have slipped by. Better to get it out there and learn from the experience. Move fast, break a few eggs, reflect and analyse then…
#0611 Reaching Out
Ignoring it will not work. The result is an accumulation of stress. The more you ignore, the longer the list of unresolved, the worse the anxiety. Rather than stick your head deeper into the sand,…
#0608 Acceptance
If you are stuck, more of the same rarely works. Automating a flawed system does not make it better. Smiling through your teeth will not make the pain go away. Acceptance, accountability and change…you got…
#0605 Stuck In The Mud
Have you ever avoided something for a long time then tried it and surprised yourself. The story we build in our heads can focus on worst case scenario when the reality is often not even…
#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…
