To-do list apps have long been a staple of personal productivity, but are they the best solution for tracking our habits? I don’t think so. While to-do lists are incredibly useful for managing our tasks, they lack the features necessary to support the formation and maintenance of habits. And that’s where dedicated habit tracking apps come in.

The pandemic shifted our entire framework around the purpose of work, remote work and finding meaning in our nine-to-five, ushering in a global existential crisis. The fallout has resulted in increasing reports of people feeling disengaged, unhappy and burned out in their work. Seeing how vitally indispensable some human work is for a functioning society—with entire departments being replaced by apps and artificial intelligence—has created a crisis of mea

You’ve probably been told the benefits of having a mentor—someone who can guide you, support you, and help you advance in your career. And if you have a manager, that’s probably who you gravitate to. Initially, it’s a match made in professional heaven—their insights, experience, and mentorship propel you forward. But then, just as you’ve grown accustomed to their guidance, they depart for their next opportunity, leaving you feeling adrift in a sea of uncertainty and unfulfilled poten

In 2021, Maya Shankar’s podcast, A Slight Change of Plans —which chronicles how we navigate and grow through change—was awarded Best Show of the Year by Apple. So, it may come as a surprise that the cognitive scientist herself is a “huge fan of the status quo” and a self-described creature of habit, even after experiencing a drastic change as a teenager when an injury ended her career as a gifted violinist.

We’ve seen it happen before—to ourselves or to others. Your boss begins taking away projects you’ve typically owned, or stops commenting on your work on a consistent basis. Maybe they even hire someone to do a similar job as you without outlining how your role will evolve. Overall, it feels like your contributions are ignored, overlooked, and underappreciated, and you’re starting to wonder how long you should stick it out.

There seems to be a constant debate as to when a change manager should join a project based on the perceptions of what a change manager does. Many change managers feel they are brought onto a change programme only once the programme/project team realise they need to start communicating to the business about the change.

It’s what we tell each other (or ourselves) to inspire a belief that things will get better. But in the workplace, it describes the mindset that many people have when it comes to the ideal career trajectory.
