We have YouTube tutorials, recorded MOOCs, online coaches, in-person trainers, group…
A few years ago, a little online puzzle called Wordle unexpectedly became a global ritual. Even if you never played it, you probably saw those green-and-yellow grids everyone kept sharing. The puzzle itself was simple—guess a five-letter word—but what really hooked people was something even simpler: the streak. The quiet satisfaction of showing up today…
Planning is where every successful project begins — and the Gantt chart remains one of the most powerful ways to bring order to complexity. It helps teams see the big picture and keep projects on track. But what happens after the plan is made? That’s where many projects lose momentum — not because the chart…
You have to send an important email tomorrow — maybe it’s a proposal, an update, or a follow-up. So you tell yourself, “I’ll do it tomorrow.” And technically, you’re right. The sending has to happen tomorrow — which really just means you’ll be pressing the send button then. The preparation, though? That can start right…

On face of it, it may look like some solution, but to me it’s far removed from day-to-day practicality. The story appears in Moonwalking with Einstein, a thought-provoking book that explores the nature of memory and…
Concerns about AI are everywhere today—fear of losing jobs, fear of losing creativity, and fear of becoming irrelevant. I often hear this question from friends, colleagues, and clients, and somehow I stay calm and assure them that nothing catastrophic will happen. These feelings are natural whenever a new, powerful technology emerges. But if history teaches…
A few years ago, I attended a gardening workshop by a horticulturist. The audience was full of enthusiastic plant parents, each with their own set of worries: “Should I water once a day or twice?”“Which direction should I keep my fiddle-leaf fig?”“What fertilizer do you recommend for faster growth?” The horticulturist answered all the questions…
Today is February 28th! The feeling of the New Year, by any stretch of the imagination, will also end now. By now, most resolutions are forgotten (Hey, kudos to you if yours have not!).
