If you’ve had a pattern of controlling every little thing your employees do, of paying attention to who’s online and when, who comes in early at the office and leaves last, of never trusting them and taking every little decision yourself, that’s what your brain will still want to do - by default. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61457a556d67f64f4051ebe4/52529db0-0c72-4980-8c2d-5e84f1160e57/team.png Reflections - How old is the team you’re leading? - Make it stand out A part of my team coworking on the rooftop at Livit Hub Bali. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61457a556d67f64f4051ebe4/1679276405430-X7JI2VOF5P88S99AWKS2/unsplash-image-ANpeikC7Up4.jpg Reflections - How old is the team you’re leading? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lavinia-iosub.com/reflections/how-old-are-you-at-work monthly 0.5 2023-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61457a556d67f64f4051ebe4/1677419302044-EETN3T7EGH3TQWM9HL9Y/unsplash-image-tvc5imO5pXk.jpg Reflections - How old are you at work? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61457a556d67f64f4051ebe4/c476d0bc-bdd7-43c8-899f-bf1fc8ddca55/netflix+freedom.jpg Reflections - How old are you at work?

The Future Of Work: the Era of Individual Sovereignty, Infinite Leverage and Going Remote Long-term WFA (work from anywhere), which seems to be most people’s aspiration, only truly works for those who are self-driven and have discipline. Freedom is your worst enemy if you don't have the right habits, infrastructure, systems to support your productivity and healthy boundaries. A clear mind is essential for decision-making and excellent outcomes in the information age. Essential for not easily being replaced by an algorithm or an AI. And if we want to operate at that level of peak performance, the only way is to learn how to discipline our minds and bodies. https://www.lavinia-iosub.com/reflections/why-barack-obama-travelled-to-sanur-to-write monthly 0.5 2022-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61457a556d67f64f4051ebe4/c2cefd76-cd27-4fcb-9e50-f01ef472321b/barack.png Reflections - Why Barack Obama travelled 15,687 km to Sanur to write, but I retreat somewhere else - Make it stand out Credit: Jonathan Ernst (Reuters) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61457a556d67f64f4051ebe4/3c4bf19b-edca-4d20-a090-1193ead5516e/IMG_20211225_184319.jpg Reflections - Why Barack Obama travelled 15,687 km to Sanur to write, but I retreat somewhere else - Make it stand out Photo taken in 2021 with my mobile phone. https://www.lavinia-iosub.com/reflections/time-confetti-context-switching-4-ways-to-fight-back monthly 0.5 2022-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61457a556d67f64f4051ebe4/9c77d7c1-7d76-44f5-98db-ae2ec4b15e2e/day+schedule.png Reflections - Time confetti & context switching: four ways to fight back - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61457a556d67f64f4051ebe4/fbc1acda-0bc8-417f-9ab6-59c5d01c6e68/notifications+screen.jpg Reflections - Time confetti & context switching: four ways to fight back - Bite-sized action you can take to get started on this: Revisit your time blocked schedule (discussed in the previous bite-sized action) and add time slots for technology use. Then, switch off notifications for at least 1h today (gasp!). Most phones have settings that allow you to mute entirely most notifications (e.g. Instagram, Facebook) and only see the ones you need (e.g. certain messages, calls) when you choose to look at your phone, rather than getting incessantly “beeped” out of your focus at all times. Try it. It’s scary at first, but you’ll notice a huge difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61457a556d67f64f4051ebe4/1634262723259-X3OKVXN6MCOIVW7V1ZHZ/eisenhower-matrix-example.png Reflections -
