Great points, Selda! I have always believed that the process is more important than just looking at the goal. Loved hearing your article. Let;s stay connected.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting Anshul! You’re right, the ‘how’ is super important.

Your post makes some great points, Selda. Sometimes the most important conversations with others are not about what the work is, but how it was done. This may unlock new approaches and realize new tools to accomplish tasks. This is especially true in science, especially in departments where work is siloed.

Thank you for reading and engaging Matt.

You’re right, it is particularly prevalent in businesses where siloed working is commonplace.

Turns out there are far more of them than we realise!

Lately I’ve been really savoring my mornings, taking it easy and slow, trying to build a solid foundation for productivity throughout the day, and it’s really helped me. I love the ideas you include in this and I resonate with all of them. I recently just posted a guide on how to be productive as well, check it out if you’d like! I appreciate any feedback.

Thanks for reading and commenting LB!

I'm glad that this article has resonated with you.

I agree the morning is a great opportunity to set the tone for the day.

After mine starts with screaming children and hectically getting them out to nursery / school, then I can sit down to meditate for 17 minutes and this practice really grounds me ready for the day ahead.

That is really great that you can turn a morning around that has the opportunity to leave you feeling anxious all day. What a great thing to make time to do!

Thank you. It’s harder to meditate when you’ve already started your day. Much easier if it’s the first thing you do each day, but when your mornings are as hectic as ours you’ve got to bend the rules sometimes. 💪
