Welcome to the Saturday recap. Enjoy!
Personal Development
This week, the posts don’t follow a theme. They cover topics on career development, the impact of daily habits, and how we sometimes forget the big picture.
Learn / Earn / Return Cycle. This first post talks about the cycles of our careers. We learn, then we earn, then we return knowledge to the cycle. We can think of our own experience through this lens.
Systems Thinking. There are systems all around us at work and at home. Sometimes we are so focused on the details, we forget about the system. What do you see if you stop and look?
Day 500 – Marking a Milestone. This day went by without fanfare….my 500th day of writing. Yet, there are lessons I’ve learned that I hope can help you on your journey.
Personal Capital. This post explores the types of capital outside of our finances that we need to understand and consider the inflows and outflows.
The Cost of Pseudo-Work. If you can read just one post this week, I would recommend this one. The concept provided might just help you save hours in your week….and, if you have students in your life, some ideas for how they could approach their time.
One Shade Greener
This week, the post – Moving Beyond the Home – covers an approach and ideas for influencing change within your community. This could be your block, subdivision, or city. Start small and branch out.
As warmer months are on the horizon, One Shade Greener at Home, has the tips and brand resources you need to make your spring cleaning and yardwork one shade greener.
PodList
This week, there are five podcasts on the list. I hope you find at least one you connect with.
Languishing: How to Feel Alive Again in a World that Wears us Down. 12 minutes. The Next Big Idea Daily. Author Corey Keys provides us with a summary of his book with the same title.
Treat Email Like Laundry. 27 minutes. HBR IdeaCast. This was an interesting podcast providing a different perspective to our email inbox. Just like our laundry, as soon as it’s “done”, more is in the hamper.
Dreading Your Taxes? How to Deal with “the Homework of Life”. 15 minutes. Life Kit. This pairs nicely with the podcast above. Life is full of daily/weekly/monthly “homework” and this episode provides tips and ideas on how we can handle everything.
Finding Flow. 3 Minutes. Self-Improvement Daily. This podcast covers how we find the delicate and often elusive balance of challenge & flow.
Mastercard is Encouraging Customers to Make More Sustainable Choices and Here’s How. 10 minutes. Wharton Business Daily. This episode is an interview with Ellen Jackowski, Chief Sustainability Officer at Mastercard. She covers how Mastercard is encouraging customers to make more sustainable choices.
