Everyday Stories, Lived

Work

  • The online people

    We used to meet people face to face. So scheduling a meeting with them is location and time-bound. But now, we can talk to people from different places anytime, all day long, without leaving where we are.

  • Find the wins

    It’s easy to get lost in the motion of endless work, day in and day out. You wake up, do all the things that need to be done, sleep, repeat. Then a new day comes, and you try to tick off all the boxes in your list. And find yourself too tired to enjoy and… Read more

  • This is not for me

    Knowing to sift through things and label them (what’s for you and what isn’t) could help you focus on the things that make you glad.

  • “Sometimes, you have to give up to move up”

    While listening to the Career Advice episode of The Minimalist podcast, one of the hosts threw out a quotable phrase that stopped me from what I was doing (and compelled me to write it here and share it with you): “Sometimes, you have to give up to move up” Because there have been so many instances in our lives… Read more

  • Thinking should be a major part of the job

    But what often happens is we’ve become so focused on ticking off boxes and multitasking, thinking that crossing off everything on our to-do list is just what there is at work.  What happens when all that has run out? I’ll make a new list! And so there’s now a little room for imagination because you’ve filled your… Read more
