Fixed vs. Fluid Self: Research shows that those who see their qualities as changeable have more resilience and are open to new experiences. This week, embrace something unfamiliar. It's a testament to your ever-evolving nature.
The Hedgehog Concept: Introduced by Jim Collins in "Good to Great," it emphasizes on focusing on what you can be best at, what drives your engine, and what you're passionate about. Identify that intersection in your life, and you're on a path to greatness.
Eisenhower Box: A time management tool that categorizes tasks based on urgency and importance. Allocate a few minutes this week to classify your tasks. It’s the first step in prioritising what truly matters.
