The problem: Output. I’m not interested in becoming a robot, but I am interested in improving my ability to make great things and in doing a better job of bringing my projects to life.

We’re entering uncertain times right now. War in Europe. Inflation. The impending possibility of a recession.

Growth is not linear. We like the idea of a clear trajectory, a predictable path forward, but that doesn’t exist.

As I entered adulthood, I felt an intense pressure to establish myself in the world. I was looking for safety and security. My way of chasing this down was by working and making money

I believe that we always have the chance to shape the world. That we are shaping the world whether we like it or not.

You discover who you are in the presence of another.” This is a quote from the psychotherapist Esther Perel in response to the fairly common phrase “I need to work on myself first.”

More productivity isn’t the answer to your problems: I’m astounded by how much “productivity” material is out there, where so many of the same tips and advice are shared over and over again.

As many of us know, perspective is grounding. It can help avoid spiraling into excess negativity. It is my belief that we could all use more perspective.

Two months ago if you told me that I would not be allowed to go outside without written permission, I admit, I would have had a very hard time believing you.

So much has already been spoken, shared and speculated about what’s taking place right now around the world. The truth is nobody can predict what the future holds.
