Better @ Work

Because your best ideas are probably not hiding in your inbox.

​
​The “Desk Safari” Strategy

​

If your workspace looks the same, sounds the same, and smells like yesterday’s lunch… your brain might be stuck on autopilot.

You don’t need a sabbatical to spark creativity.

Just a change of scenery.

​

✅ How-To:​
• Change locations for one meeting this week - outside, café, even just a different floor.
• Walk and talk - ditch the Zoom and make it a phone call on the move.
• Try “analog ideation” - bring a notebook and leave your screen behind.
• Block 20 minutes for unscheduled exploration somewhere inspiring.

​

🎯 Takeaway:​
New surroundings = new solutions. Even a small shift can break your mental traffic jam.

​

🔥 Try This:​
Take your toughest task of the week on a field trip. Somewhere different. No headphones. Just focus.

​

🧠 Reflection:​
Where do you get your best ideas - and when’s the last time you went there on purpose?

Better @ Home

Because the life you want might be buried under the stuff you don’t.

​
​The “Reverse Wishlist”

​

At home, clutter often speaks louder than clarity. We hold on to items for someday, what if, or just in case - until the space that’s supposed to restore us starts working against us.

It’s time for a quieter, smarter approach to home reset.

​

✅ How-To:​
• Walk through your space slowly, with a notepad or voice memo app.
• Instead of asking, “What should I get rid of?” ask: “If I moved tomorrow, what would I absolutely take with me?”
• Keep only what makes that list.
• Don’t start with your whole house - start with one drawer, one shelf, one corner.

​

🎯 Takeaway:​
Decluttering isn’t about loss. It’s about loyalty. If it doesn’t earn its way into your next chapter, why let it stay in this one?

​

🔥 Try This:​
Choose one area of your home this week -just one - and do a Reverse Wishlist walkthrough. No guilt. No pressure. Just clarity.

​

🧠 Reflection:​
What are you holding onto that no longer deserves front-row status in your life?

Better @ Life

Because “nice job” is forgettable and you’re better than that.

​How to Give a Great Compliment

​

We underestimate the power of a well-aimed compliment. Not the generic kind. The kind that hits like a hug in words.

A great compliment isn’t about flattery.
It’s about recognition.

Here’s how to give one that sticks:

​

✅ How-To:​
• Be Specific – Mention exactly what they did and why it mattered.
• Spot the Effort – Praise the hustle, not just the result.
• Make It Personal – Tie it to their values, energy, or growth.
• Be Unexpected – A quick note, a voice memo, a sticky on their coffee cup.
• Say It When It’s Not Required – It means more when it’s not tied to a review or agenda.

​

🎯 Takeaway:​
A compliment costs nothing. But when delivered well, it’s a deposit in someone else’s self-worth account.

​

🔥 Try This:

Compliment someone today for something they probably think no one noticed.

​

🧠 Reflection:​
What’s the most meaningful compliment you’ve ever received? What made it matter?
