Great conversation with @franklintaggart about setting priorities according to what ACTUALLY matters to you (rather than what you "should" do or what seems like maybe a good idea?) youtube.com/watch?v=H63JYPIy…

Always excited to learn about ways to lessen the effect of bias on communication. Useful article from @JeffreyDavis108 on the surprising effect of awe on bias. Top takeaway: "those in an awe state are ...more vigilant of the quality of the information they’re presented."

I got this idea from Amy Walsh at the Bureau of Tactical Imagination, and it changed my whole understanding of a "brand"!
What does your brand's world look like? 👀 @jccabel reckons that brand building is world-building, and I LOVE this way of thinking about it. Wanna hear her dive into this and so much more? Listen to our conversation on the Brand Your Passion podcast! 🎧 makerandmoxie.com/blog/jessi…

Awesome! I've shared a set of self-compassionate annual review prompts here in case anyone else wants to give it a go: autonomous-creative.ck.page/…

I’m about to go into a meeting with my Accountability Group to do my annual review and listen to my peers reviews. It’s such a good exercise! Following @jccabel suggestions, of course 😊

This week on The Autonomous Creative, @oliverburkeman reminds us all that we are Mortal, we have Limits, and we can't possibly Do It All. And that's a good thing, actually: bit.ly/3FZfeiG
