Most of us are going to spend a third of our adult lives working. That’s about 90,000 hours. It's incumbent upon all of us to figure out what it means to use that time well. So how do we do it? We know our values. In this first Hello Monday Master Class episode, we revisit some sage advice from author Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love; Big Magic; City of Fear) and author and professor Suzy Welch (10-10-10: A Life-Transforming Idea; NYU-Stern's popular class, "Becoming You: Crafting the Authentic Life You Want and Need"). Give us 15 minutes and gain the insights you need to transform how you approach your values. Then, collaborate on this week's exercise in the free Hello Monday Group on LinkedIn.

Asking better questions with Jeff Wetzler

We all have sets of routines that we like to follow, whether it’s common like brushing your teeth twice a day, or unique to our interests like working out the same way each week. Today’s guest believes we can set even stronger routines by shifting from a “habitual” mindset to a “ritual” mindset. Michael Norton is the author of “The Ritual Effect: From Habit to Ritual, Harness the Surprising Power of Everyday Actions.” He sits down with Jessi to explain how rituals deepen our emotional ties to tasks and make them more meaningful to complete.
