Satisfied being unsatisfied
Being unsatisfied with something in our life doesn’t mean we’ll do anything about it. It’s amazing how long we can sit with this feeling despite having every intention to change the situation. To help disrupt this state, consider what needs to happen to let go of being unsatisfied. Are you waiting for someone else to […]
Laminate it
Here’s my last thought on New Year’s Resolutions. By this point you’ve probably taken some time to consider what you’d like 2023 to look like. If you’re keen to set yourself goals, it’s helpful to make them visible, so be sure to write them down or print them out when you’re ready to commit. But […]
A novel idea
A common New Year’s Resolution is to read a new book every month. This is a great way to expand your awareness of the world and expose yourself to new ideas. But it’s also helpful to consider how much of this content you’ll retain and actively use in your life. Take a moment to consider […]
Keep doing something
A New Year’s Resolution is typically defined as a promise to start doing something or stop doing something. But what if you resolved to keep doing something? What are you doing right now that is already producing great results, and if maintained may produce even better results? .

I like New Year’s Resolutions
Welcome to 2023! I hope you had a wonderful New Years Eve and are looking forward to the year ahead! You’re probably wondering if you should make a New Year’s Resolution. I know they can be cliché, but I think it’s pretty cool how we’re all drawn to reflect on the year that was and […]
Bec has the remote
We have an incredible 75” television. Bec and I both think it’s amazing, but I spend way too much time in front of it than she does. For Bec, it’s considered consumption. For me, it’s default consumption. And this makes Bec an ideal guardian for the remote. So today, I asked Bec to take complete […]
What are you paying with?
Everything costs something. Something “free” may not require money, but your payment could be time, energy and headspace. And you can take this further by considering deeper concepts, like your wellbeing, reputation or social capital. So with anything you do, it’s important to appreciate what you’re paying with. Because when you realise you’re paying something, […]
Collect useful information
When you want to lose weight, you may want to measure your progress by standing on the scales every day. Unfortunately, this isn’t a useful measurement, even though it’s the place which will show the number you’re ultimately pushing for. When you weigh yourself every day, you won’t see a noticeable difference, so this information […]
Discipline takes practice
Sometimes when we commit to a goal we adopt an all-or-nothing approach. We feel that we can’t slip up at all, and if we do then we give the goal away entirely. Committing to a goal means changing established behaviours, and that’s really hard. It’s inevitable that you will slip back into your old ways, […]
