I'm a big believer in a morning routine. But just as important I've realised is how we finish the day. Ending your day on an intentional good note will ensure that you look back on it with a sense of fulfilment.

Perspective is like a a pair of glasses - our lens on the world.

The mind is like a monkey riding an elephant.

Communication breakdowns happen. This model from Dr Faith Harper is a nice framework for understanding how and ways to avoid this.

Elephants, dead fish and vomit are how Airbnb frame issues that need to be aired in their company. I like this as a framework to think about things we need to have honest, brave conversations about.

What’s really important in your life right now? What truly matters to you? What’s your biggest priority in and out of work?

The Circle of Control and Influence is a neat framework popularised in the 80s by Stephen Covey. It invites you to think about the challenges and concerns you have in your work and life. And choose where best to put your time and energy.

Self-love is about taking responsibility for your own mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Here’s some questions to ask to check your relationship with yourself…
