Overwhelm is not a personal failing. It’s not a reflection of your character. You’re not broken. You’re not bad at your job. You’re not lazy or disorganised.

I’ve noticed I’ve not been reading books much lately.

Are your emails quietly sabotaging your energy and focus?

One of the best things about the Pomodoro Technique is its simplicity—all you need is a timer.

If you struggle to say no in the moment, try deferring your decision. Make this your default response:

Do you ever get to the end of the day feeling like you’ve achieved nothing, even though you’ve barely stopped?

What is a break? I've been thinking about this recently.

We often treat daily routines like on/off switches. You’re either doing your routine perfectly every day, or you’ve fallen off completely.

Sometimes, the final piece of the puzzle—the big project you’re working so hard on—isn’t more work; it’s taking a break.

I’ve always set goals. For the most part, linear goal setting has served me well: pick a target, map out the steps, and stick to the plan.

If everything is urgent, nothing is. We talk a lot about HOW to prioritise. But what about WHAT we prioritise?

I’ve realised something. My phone isn’t the problem… it’s the amount of time we spend together.

Sometimes, we are so focused on "busy work" that we stop noticing what’s possible. Opportunities pass us by.

Switching into focus mode can feel impossible some days. Distractions, mental clutter, and decision fatigue all get in the way.

Do you "think to talk" or "talk to think"? Most of the time, I think to talk. But sometimes, I like to discuss things to test or develop my thinking.

The best tools in the world won’t make you more productive—solid systems will.

Do you ever struggle to start or end your workday? One way to create better boundaries is to book-end your day with a start-up and shut-down routine.

Sometimes, "no" is the right answer. It often is.

We all know how satisfying it feels to be fully immersed in an activity. Making progress feels fantastic.

Here’s something I’ve been reflecting on lately: inspiration.
