I’ve always been hypersensitive and can get overwhelmed by thinking. I can be wholly incapacitated physically, even though a party’s going on in my head. So I like to work in cafes and public spaces to avoid losing my mind by myself in my room. But in these places I can get fidgety and distracted, […]

We’re drowning in distractions. If only that damn phone would stop beeping at me, then I’d get some work done. Can’t YouTube…you know…just not exist, so I can finally find my passion in peace? It would be so much easier to be productive if Instagram stopped spewing out so many glorious pictures. Techy stuff is

It is hard to move out of the darkness. To cross the chasm into being recognised, following years spent in the unknown. To make a living from our own ideas, rather than from a payslip, can be a monumental challenge. The hordes at the gates seem to grow with each new day: More talent with

Why can’t this ever get easier? I desperately want to get this piece of writing done. I’m satisfied with the idea, and the way that I will execute it, but still I have a prickling in my stomach. I am nervous. When I think about what has to be done, and that I haven’t done it
I had someone email me recently that their lack of purpose was driving them crazy. They felt lost; trapped. Surely the solution, if you are lost, is to figure out where you want to go. Right? Isn’t it easy? When we’re in a city we don’t know, and we are lost, what do we do?
It’s time we figured out our direction in life. Here’s how to make it concrete Read More »
I haven’t posted an article in over three weeks. For someone who promised himself an article a day no matter what, that’s pretty crap. I gave myself excuses… “My time has been consumed by other things.” “I went out too much and glugged one too many beers.” “I need to feel great to write a great

A version of this post first appeared on the Turn Off the Overwhelm blog. We live such busy lives. We run from meeting to meeting, sales call to sales call, school event to school event, all without question. Instead of questioning the validity of these sprints, we simply brush reasons aside, because it’s just what
