The importance of planning your day.

No Comments

Sometimes life feels like it’s going a million miles per minute. You wake up, check your socials, watch Money Heist and make some breakfast, suddenly it’s 2PM. You shower, take a nap, an unexpected issue or opportunity arises, you address it, decide to make some food and watch some more Money Heist because who doesn’t like hearing Bella Ciao repeatedly and suddenly it’s 11PM. The day is gone and you’re upset because this happens repeatedly, sound familiar? To prevent the feeling that time is running away from you, you need to plan your day in advance. A plan is a […]

Self-doubt & how I deal with it

4 Comments

Self-doubt steals more joy and dreams than failure ever will. Today I want to talk about self-doubt because it is a destructive trait. There’s no way to sugar-coat it or dress it up. It’s the epicentre of negativity and fear to me. Self-doubt is the lack of confidence about one’s own abilities and actions. Examples of self doubt: “What if I’m not good enough?” “What if I don’t succeed?” “I’m too old to be starting something new anyway” “It’s never going to work” “Things never work for me” “I’ve done something similar before and failed, why would it be different […]

Avoiding doing a task doesn’t mean it will go away, it just gives you more stress and less time to do it.

Avoid doing this because you’ll only blame yourself when things […]

Accountability and the art of failing to prepare.

8 Comments

 By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. – Benjamin Franklin Whenever I want to be really  lazy and avoid doing major things  I remember the above quote. It’s so simple yet so true, by not preparing for something you are setting yourself up for failure.  Emphasis on “you”. So many people don’t prepare for things which are paramount to their success like assignments, interviews, creative projects…the list goes on. Eventually they see the fruits of their labour, complain about  how they’re not going anywhere in life and  nothing is working for them yet they’re putting little or no work in.  Even […]
