Brain power or not
I was extremely tired the other day. Also quite low on mood. I had a dance class booked in the evening. My body knew. As the day was progressing I could sense that I am not tired as such, mostly depleted, some sort of emotional fatigue. My body started nudging my mind: out of the…

The office that fosters productivity exists. And we all want it. It’s expensive
There is so much talk around the productivity boost the office space offers. To begin with, the office was not born to boost productivity. Back in the day it was just the only place where work could be done. No alternative. So let’s take the office from any productivity pedestal to begin within. However, the…

Does anything happen for a reason?
You know, something really bad happens. There is the crying, the disappointment, the despair even. We are so scared of these emotions, we hate having them so much so we resort to words of consolation like “everything happens for a reason”, “the universe prepares you for something else and better”, “watch out for the silver…

When is the CEO to blame?
I wonder some times about all these failed companies out there or even more so the unsuccessful but not yet failed companies out there. They do all the restructurings, the redundancies, the reorganisations, the desperate M&As. Lives are affected, economy is inevitably shrunk and those who are left behind in the troubled corporate obviously carry…

Has anyone thought that WFH is just sustainable?
I mean the obvious: commuting is polluting. This is too obvious. On top, we build our solis twice: different building to work, different to live. In fact we replicate all that tech and human modern living standards twice. Elevators, artificial lighting (because we all know it’s bad to have office space with natural lighting flooding…

Food, pleasure and evolution
I paid a visit to a dietician today. He also happens to have received full medical training. Obviously a combination of covid, WFH and age took their toll on my what-I-wish-to-remember-as-gorgeous (ha!) body, He bothered to explain that our lizard brains seek joy no matter what. Our lizard brain enjoys comfort food and sugary/ salty…

What we know. Who we know. Who we are and whom we let define us
Often in life we have to throw ourselves out there. We are in quest of people or positions or solutions. We introduce ourselves, we act, we say things. We fill ourselves with hope. We create expectations. We stumble. We fall. We get disappointed. We might find the courage and the resilience to start all over…
