  • UIOK 266: Daily Discomfort


    Early this week I attended a Movember fundraiser with a whole lot of dudes and a lot of openness and honesty about the hard stuff that we go through. I thought I would set a challenge for us to share some of our own daily discomfort on social media and go behind the scenes so we can support each other and learn important lessons about discomfort from the community.

  • UIOK 261: Sort your buckets before you kick the bucket

    One of the uncomfortable things that I've been struggling with recently is the discomfort around what feels like the pull of a whole lot of different responsibilities. The pull of different responsibilities makes me feel like I'm half-arsing a whole lot of things - which isn't nice.

    Conceptualizing the important things in my life as buckets that I'm pouring my resources into is a process that I'm finding helpful. Here is how I'm thinking about it at the moment.
