Overdoing and anxiety
Every time I press the Post button on LinkedIn, my stomach cramps. It takes days for the stress to fade. Maybe I have not trained enough bias muscle resistance. At any kind of work, from business to exercise, there are good days and bad days. Then there are good weeks and bad weeks. The trap…

Sunk cost of over-research
The more research time I invest, the harder it became to let go of the idea. Letting go would erase the time and effort I have spent. Therefore, Gear often matter very little in the making of a story, at least at the very start. This is often a sign that I’m stalling, while I…

Over-research
The story: I bought an Insta360 Ace Pro 2 and I fell for the marketing. It’s laughable because I work in the video industry as product marketing. It was a decision between DJI Action 5 Pro and Insta360 Ace Pro 2. The facts I over researched and end up persuaded myself: The quick thought on…

Bias reaction muscle and scheduled post
This is a 3 minute clip of Chris Koerner on The Diary Of A CEO sharing to act on the curiosity in the least amount of time possible. I enjoyed his way to phrase “strengthen the bias reaction muscle”. It reminds me of the fear, sweaty palm, hearing my own heartbeat when posting my first…

Gamification and doing hard things
Millie’s turning 5, school began to teach numbers and alphabets. I found this as an opportunity to learn to do hard things. Every time she writes from 1 to 50, a box is slashed, she accumulates 4 minutes of iPad or Switch time to redeem. It works for adults too. What’s that one anticipation we…

Writing in a to-do app
I’m a great procrastinator. I paid for Bluehost, I switched to Hostinger. I changed a dozen or so themes. But I avoided the thing that should be done: to write. I began to write on TickTick and reached 22 straight days. I found writing in my todo list to be a tactical move stay away…

Motion drives emotion
The word ’emotion’ includes the word ‘motion’, it’s 6 out of the 7 characters. I think this implies 80% action and 20% feeling. Unfortunately, we often flip the ratio when things get hard. If I treat myself as a business, a restaurant. Does a bad review make me feel bad? Yes. And nervous, angry, defensive,…
