There’s a LOT going on. 🫨

Start your week with intention. 😊

Grab your #notebook or open your personal knowledge management tool of choice and answer this prompt:

“Where does my attention need to be today?”

It’s not a trick question, although as mentioned I know you’re BUSY.

2/2 🧵

Reading is not a race for me.

When I was a stay-at-home dad, I had more time. Now I'm back to work, so I read less.

Life is a balance, filled with subtle or cataclysmic shifts. Reading is a constant through any chaos for me, and I hope it can also be for you as well.

1/2 🧵

The point is, you don’t have to struggle quietly. Ask for help, use that outside perspective to find your way.

Remember this when someone’s calls upon you, and be ready in whatever capacity you can be to help them find their way

3/3

Then, start writing down the names of the people in your life who you can call upon when you need help.

You It may be a family member, someone from work, or your best friend. It might be a dear friend whom you’ve never met in person but spend lots of time with online.

2/3

Are you feeling stuck?

You don't need to face this challenge alone.

Sit with your journal and start finding your momentum with this prompt:

⏩ Who can help me move forward? Start by recording what had you feeling this way.
