Wishing Away The Present Moment
Wishing Away The Present Moment
Why do so many of us expect happiness to come at some future date? I can remember being so excited about turning 10 years old – it seemed like such a milestone to my kid brain. Then it was starting junior high-school. Next, being a high-school freshman. As many of us probably did, I couldn’t wait to turn 16 and get my driver’s license and all of the freedom that came with driving yourself around.…

Hack Success By Building Systems
Hack Success By Building Systems
In 2019, the fitness tracking app Strava documented and studied over 800 million user activities and found that most people quit their New Year’s fitness resolutions by January 19th. January 19th has thus been dubbed “quitters day.” In an article for inc.com, Marcel Schwantes writes that 91% of us won’t achieve our New Years resolutions. My big questions is: how do 9 out of every 10 people fail…

5 Questions I Always Ask In An Interview
5 Questions I Always Ask In An Interview
When interviewing potential employees I want to get much deeper than previous job experience and strengths and weaknesses. Over the past five years I have constantly modified the questions I ask and also how I ask them. Listening to Tim Ferriss discuss interview questions for his podcast has helped me better design questions to elicit the responses that I am looking for to see if someone is a…

Moral Licensing: When Doing Good Leads To Doing Bad
Moral Licensing: When Doing Good Leads To Doing Bad
Have you ever eaten a bunch of ice cream and said it’s okay because you worked out that day? Or have you ever been rude to someone and justified it by thinking that you are actually a good person? I just listened to the first episode of the podcast Revisionist History by Malcolm Gladwell in which he analyzes a concept called moral licensing. Co-authors Philipp Simbrunner and Bodo Schlegelmilch of…

You Don't Design Your Environment, Your Environment Designs You
You Don’t Design Your Environment, Your Environment Designs You
What is the first thing you see when you walk into a Whole Foods grocery store? It is usually a huge display of flowers. Your first impression of the store is freshness, color, and delicious smells. This sets the tone for your entire shopping experience. The flowers flip a switch in our brain that tells us everything else in the store is also fresh; produce, baked goods, ready-to-eat meals.

Why Rethinking Is A Superpower
Why Rethinking Is A Superpower
When was the last time you seriously rethought something? Not what to wear to your friend’s dinner party or how to arrange your vegetable drawer, but big things. Things like your religion, or lack of religion. Things like whether or not your career path lines up with your life goals. Things like whether your partner or close friends and family are supportive of your goals, or even if your own…

The Environment of Improvement: People
The Environment of Improvement: People
I try to read equal amounts of fiction and non-fiction. Usually, I end up tipping the scales more in the non-fiction direction because I love learning from real world experiences. But fiction can provide equally important lessons. In the New York Times best selling novel Euphoria by Lily King, one such moment made me reflect on how I impact the people around me, and how the people in my life…

Precrastination
How often do you put off important tasks? We all know the dangers of procrastination; doing something, or nothing, to put off doing an important task. But potentially even more dangerous than procrastination is precrastination. I first heard this term reading the book Start Now, Get Perfect Later by Rob Moore. Moore describes precrastination as the “illusion of busyness we create by ‘getting…

SMART Goals
Normally I am not a fan of acronyms. By themselves they mean nothing. SMART goals? Sounds like the slogan of a self proclaimed self-help guru giving talks in a dirty hotel conference room. However, digging down into the meaning of SMART goals made me re-think the entire process of goal setting. So, while the acronym itself may sound cheesy, the idea behind it is timeless.
SMART stands…

Self-Growth Comes From Self-Love
Self-Growth Comes From Self-Love
Some of the greatest lessons I have learned from books came out of fantasy novels. Call me a nerd, but if you read Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings and didn’t come away with a new understanding of life I think you are missing out. One of these fantasy novel lessons was so profound that I wrote down a lengthy quote on the back of a used envelope when I was a teenager and still have it tucked in a…
