#Perfectionism stop you from sending that draft?
Set a deadline.
It's not "I'll send it when I happy with it".
or "I'll send it when I think its ready".
Instead it's:
I'm sending it at 5pm today.
And tell the other person that it's coming.

Extremely grateful to @rlcmrf for supporting our translational neuroscientific work to isolate & target the core mechanisms of #addiction, which is highly stigmatised & needs urgent attention to help vulnerable affected individuals in our communities, & make a positive difference
Professor Lorenzetti studies the neurobiology of substance use and addiction to identify those most vulnerable to brain and mental health harms, and develops brain-based interventions to reduce addiction-related harm. Learn more about her research 👇.

How many times do you hear a presenter say:
I know you can’t read this but …
If they can’t read it then what’s the point? Your font size needs to be 18 point or higher. From: buff.ly/3ItCPJ1

I caught myself rewriting my student's entire introduction last year.
Again.
For the third time that month.
That's when it hit me:
The skills that made me productive are now making me a bottleneck.
Here's the mid-career trap nobody warns you about:

Men have murdered 10 women this month, but the silence is so deafening it feels like I am screaming into a void.
Early this morning, police found a woman stabbed to death at her home in Quakers Hill, NSW. A man was found outside the property with critical injuries. Another man went to a local police station and has since been arrested.
She is the 10th woman killed in December, the 73rd Australian woman killed this year and the 178th woman killed since January 1 of 2024.

If you support Ferguson and Tingle please like and share this post
In my opinion these two are balanced when reporting or hosting shows .. Media like @SkyNewsAust wants to control all media, we must not let them . #auspol

ABC Managing Director Hugh Marks: Statement on Laura Tingle and Sarah Ferguson abc.net.au/about/media-centr…
Thank god the ABC has abandoned knee jerk reaction to powerful distorted vested interests.
The management has learned a lot from the Lattouf travesty.
