Everything we want is just an experience of our time. Even the things we buy with money are just because we want to experience our time in a certain way.

1+ y ago16:19

16:19

I’m not sure if you’ve realised this but what most humans do is use their brain to make money to buy time. That’s what we do right?

Or so that we have enough money in our retirement to …

Problems are such a problem, aren’t they? Just consider that problem you’re dealing with right now. Have you noticed yourself thinking about it non-stop?

How to Create Happy New Thoughts to Achieve the Results You Want 27:28

27:28

The reason why resolutions and goals and new habits fail has nothing to do with January. Let’s just clear that one up - it has nothing to do with the new year. January happens to be the time that people tend to commit to new goals. And whether you commit to these in January or in September my guess is that the averages of success towards those goal…

Permission to not be perfect 13:20

2y ago13:20

13:20

If you think about it, seeking perfection is actually quite odd. Perfection is an entirely abstract construct because there is no evidence of it in the world we see and interact with daily. Sure, you might think something is "perfect" but that is also an opinion that someone else might disagree with. And so true perfection doesn't exist and yet our…

I used to believe that if you had a fool-proof well-thought-out strategy then you could have any success. I was so wrong. If anyone tells you that a specific strategy is guaranteed to work - I would recommend that you think a bit more about it before jumping in. And I’m not saying that it won’t work - but it might only be guaranteed to work not bec…

Forget decision-making, RE-DECIDING is your new superpower. So often we get comfortable doing the things we've always done.

Very often we think about our goal in 1 stage/moment where we actually succeed.

14:00

How long do new habits really take? 21 days? Guess again. Research has shown that it takes on average much longer than that. But the real problem is impatience. We expect our new habits or change or activities that we are working on to be perfect immediately. We get impatient when we don't see results or evidence that things are working quickly. An…

Where in your life and work do you often find yourself apologising? Being late? Missed deadlines? Poor communication? Apologising is important and can build trust and respect in certain situations.

Why do we do things we don’t want to do during our working day? Why do we do things that take us away from what we actually want to be doing. For instance: Why do we try and multi-task when we know it’s not beneficial? Why do we check our emails every 11 minutes instead of focussing and completing what’s in front of us?
