What’s Your Priority?

What’s Your Priority?

Blog by Rick0 comments

A question that often gets overlooked is “What does improving my life look like?” It’s easy to use other people’s metrics, but it’s crucial to find the metrics that matter the most for your own life.  Speaking for myself, it’s easy to assume that it means the same as the […]

Arbitrary Dates

Blog by Rick0 comments

Happy 2022, everyone. You might find today to be a momentous occasion, as it’s the start of a new calendar year. After all, we’ve created parades, funding and budget cycles, national holidays, and a bunch of other cultural norms around this day. So if that’s your jam, ride that inspiration […]

Are You Busy or Lazy?

bias by Rick0 comments

That’s the question I was asking myself the other day. Given a culture where most famous thought leaders espouse waking up prior to the sun and working out, meditating, and doing daily pages prior to 7am, it makes sense as a night owl who regularly finds a groove between 11pm […]

Approval

belonging by Rick0 comments

It’s tempting to want to get picked. After all, it’s a great feeling as someone is articulating their desire for you, your skills, your talents, your value.  I’m not above this desire. Who doesn’t want to be chosen? But at the end of the day, the best thing we can […]

Bigger

Blog by Rick0 comments

When we think of making a project bigger, I often think of scale – more customers, more impact, more media, more sales, more money. While there’s nothing wrong with scale, if you look at those thoughts, it’s obvious that I’m thinking about how it could be bigger for me. I […]

Talking Down the Impostor

Blog by Rick0 comments

When doing something new, difficult, and/or very public, it’s easy to get discouraged. To let the voice saying “You’re not enough” convince you that it’s true. To let the fear talk you into playing it safe. To hide. To keep that magic that’s inside you locked away. Or, you can […]

Minimum Viable Project

Blog by Rick0 comments

You might have big dreams about how something is going to get created, or implemented, or launched. You might also have very real constraints that will prevent that optimal ideal from coming into reality – at least at the very start. Instead of being discouraged, what’s the minimum viable version […]

Hiding in Excellence

Blog by Rick0 comments

It can be tempting to continue to do what you’re excellent at – after all, our society generally ties excellence to value. Starting something new, unlearning old behaviors, or developing a new skill can especially be frightening because it’s likely we will not be excellent at it. But it’s easy […]

Chronomancer

Blog by Rick0 comments

If I had magic, I would definitely speed up time while doing tasks I didn’t like, and slow down or even freeze time when I was behind on work, or if I wanted to take a vacation in the middle of a tense situation. But since magic doesn’t exist in […]

Trusting Yourself

bias by Rick0 comments

No one wants you to trust yourself more than I do. But there’s a difference in trusting in your inherent capabilities, and trusting that you’re right. Trusting in your inherent capabilities means that you can trust yourself to figure things out. To navigate uncertainty and act despite fear. It means […]
