The Stuff that MattRs
Monday Motivation. Let this week be the one where we continue to improve our decision making. Are you an athlete or a grandmaster when it comes to making decisions. The psychology of decision making will help you find out. Your first step should be to build a good toolkit. Bonus Stuff. Six great books to read that will improve your decision making.
Rapport. How to build rapport. Some practical steps to help ease your way into digital and in-person communication.
Priorities. The No Excuse Hour. Read how a variation on ‘Eat The Frog’ can help get the most important tasks done early in the day. Bonus Stuff. Some people suggest that we work best in short, intense bursts. Find out why that might be true, based on how our brains are hard-wired.
Career. A simple formula for making career decisions. In just three words you can make important life decisions, rationally and simply.
Politics. It’s a big week in the US and soon in Ireland where Stuff is written, but how do you handle political discussions in the workplace? This short pdf explains how to keep things mindful and respectful when tensions are raised.
Books. Read my book notes and review of CoActive Coaching - an essential textbook for aspiring coaches, managers, leaders and even parents.
Bonus Stuff. Try my 30 day Journalling Challenge.
Glimmers. The opposite of a trigger, tiny moments of joy that can change your day. How many of these 100 glimmers can you find in your days?
Rizz. How to be a more charismatic person. Science backed ways to increase your charisma. I think if you’re subscribed to Stuff, you already have max rizz!
Perfectionism. Philippa Perry is a font of sound advice, this reply to someone who worries about giving 100% to different aspects of life is insightful and useful for all of us.
Walking. Have a stroll, stop for a bit. Researchers have found that walks with stops require more energy than continuous walking. I’d imagine fart walks will start to look different now.
Finally. 2048 is 10 years old, and it has been redesigned to celebrate. I cannot count how many train trips I have spent on this game!
