Right when the clocks went back, Andy and I both noticed that we suddenly started to feel really tired and struggled to get out of bed. We’re morning people, so what was going on?

I bet that many of you struggle with the same challenge as me: really paying attention when our brain is being targeted by so many distractions in the form of notifications, sounds, badges, screens, tabs, calls, messages and more.

When we set ourselves goals and targets it’s easy to forget how far we’ve come already. Especially during times when we’re working hard to accomplish something and we feel like we’re not making progress.

When I was a little girl, from the age of about 6 until yesterday I was at least 18, I wanted a pony. Or a horse. I wasn’t going to be picky.

Are you proud of the work you’re doing?

Are your projects picking up speed but you feel you’re being left behind? It’s time to get your work mojo back…

I’ll be the first to admit that I find it difficult to get feedback. Mainly because I put a ton of work into the things I do. It feels like I couldn’t have done any more. And then someone finds the things I should have done. That’s hard to take.

I don’t like being glued to my phone. I want to be more present instead of scrolling through social media or being sucked into the news. My solution is really simple…

Having empathy and being able to put yourself in someone else’s situation to fully understand what they need and why – that’s a great skill to have.

Some books have had a profound impact on me in my career and have helped me find the right direction for what I want to do.

Whatever you do, stay true to yourself and your values. YOU are the person who needs to feel comfortable when you look in the mirror each morning.

When you struggle to build knowledge and skills, seek out different voices and formats. They can serve as new routes to what you’re trying to learn.
