As a student, we did all nighters’ to complete our assignments or prepare for exams. We also did all nighters’ to have fun- but this isn’t the topic for this time. Let’s focus on the sleepless nights for a tangible outcome. Mostly, in corporate life, we don’t do all nighters’. Mostly, we do long days,Continue reading “Making Decisions on Sleepless Nights”

The right timing: Frost
Although it’s been approx. 1.5 years since I left work, walking my children to school is still a luxury even in this cold weather. The frost has made the pavements slippery this morning and the girls were enjoying sliding around on it. I was still in the moment with them, but then I did whatContinue reading “The right timing: Frost”
Hazy Monday
Regardless of whether it is the first day of school or the first day of a new job, excitement and apprehension fills your sleep the night before. We lay out our clothes the night before, organise what we will do for breakfast or lunch, take a photo to remember this occasion, and accept well wishesContinue reading “Hazy Monday”
End of the Holidays
We start back to school next Monday but we are now winding down all of our activities. School uniform is all purchased ready to be labelled and will be put into PE bags before the weekend, just to enjoy our last Saturday and Sunday as a whole family before the school run starts. When youContinue reading “End of the Holidays”
Scrolling mindset
We all have moments where we scroll our various media channels thinking we have read or engaged with everything; but we haven’t. Sometimes I check the weather app 3x before I have really taken it in. It is a lot of data at once but as it is aimless scrolling, we don’t always go inContinue reading “Scrolling mindset”
Taking a Break
It is the second-half of the summer holidays and the weather is encouraging us away from activities and into more thoughtful activities. It does feel like we have crammed so much in the first half that we forgot to pay attention to things like the local Library Reading Challenge (we made a trip today), artsContinue reading “Taking a Break”
Equal leadership
‘Give it to Lucy, she will get it done’ is something you have probably heard in the office multiple times a day or when a new challenge is looming. It could be a different name or a different gender, but there is a Lucy in each team. When something is complex or challenging, new orContinue reading “Equal leadership”
Big Ideas
How do you feel when the schedule you have put together doesn’t go to plan? Not a great feeling, but being agile is so valuable these days and having the mental resilience to take ownership of it is underestimated. Planning all the activities we want to do this summer with the children has of courseContinue reading “Big Ideas”
The summer start
It’s been a very short amount of time but the long summer holidays looks short. We have been spending as much time outside as possible, in parks and in the garden. It’s funny how your perspective changes whether you are in work and out of work; just recently I would’ve been in an office mostContinue reading “The summer start”
Brands and Freedom
So yesterday I talked about persuading my girls to take nice pictures on Eid… here is the aftermath after ice-cream; barefoot handstands and football! Taking time out to explore your own freedoms and not being restricted by the exterior. When companies have a particular feel with their brand, sometimes doing something different reminds us ofContinue reading “Brands and Freedom”
