When you find your passion
February 23rd 2023 by
Our group was taken along a secret track, through a security door, deep beneath the awe-inspiring fountains on a visit to the pump room. I was embarking on a behind-the-scenes tour of The Alnwick Garden. Our guide, Dean, was brilliant. He held the attention of every member of our group which ranged from under 3 […][...]

Decision-making made easy

A robot wrote this
January 12th 2023 by
I, like many people, have been playing with the latest Artificial Intelligence programmes that were launched late last year. Already LinkedIn posts, tweets and other social media communications are being written by computers. Very clever computers. But are they any good? I thought it might be fun to go head-to-head with openai.com and see what […][...]

Curate Your Life
January 5th 2023 by
I saw a Facebook poll with the question. Do you believe: a) Life happens to you? b) You create your life? I voted b with a caveat. Can I change create to curate? Create gives the impression that you’re in control of everything. Curate means choosing the best of what you have. As you’re clearly […][...]

How many ways can you love someone?
December 15th 2022 by
My wife is brilliant. Last week, completely out of the blue, she asked, ‘How many ways can you love someone?’ It’s one of those magical questions where you begin to respond before realising it deserves a little more thought. Actions? Words? Thoughtfulness? That look? Forgiveness? Touch? The list could, and should, go on. Our conversation […][...]

Levelwhelm
December 8th 2022 by
It’s that time of year when it’s very easy to become overwhelmed. You know that slightly sick feeling when you’ve no idea how you’re going to get through everything. And there’s a lot of everything. Then, of course, there’s Overwhelm’s youngest sibling – Underwhelm. What a pair. Where’s Levelwhelm? The middle child. The […][...]

You can’t run a marathon in an hour
December 1st 2022 by
You can’t run a marathon in an hour. But you can walk a mile. Do that. It’s December 1st and there’s no doubt, the next few weeks will include all kinds of craziness, stresses and hopefully joyfulness. And a bit of overwhelm too. Overwhelm usually occurs when you realise (or believe) you’ve taken too […][...]

Too much choice
November 24th 2022 by
I was going to create a Black Friday sale with amazing offers on loads of products. And then I remembered the jam experiment, where a supermarket increased its range of jams fivefold and sold… less jam. Most people appreciate less choice, not more. Keep it simple Heppell. In the spirit of less jam choice, […][...]
