An attitude of grattitude

Your attention follows your heart, your focus then follows the mind

As a job searcher, whether you're gainfully employed and patiently seeking your next step up or recently separated and actively seeking new opportunities, never forget to appreciate where you are.

Take some time to be in the moment and cultivate gratitude. Recognizing the fascinating and invigorating place you can call home. The relationships that make your life fulfilling and worthwhile. Amenities that others might wish they had. Natural beauty that surrounds you, etc.

Research shows that maintaining and sustaining gratitude can improve productivity, mental health, relationships, and self-esteem.

As previously mentioned in prior blogs, job searching can become a full-time job.

Don't forget to take breaks and warm-up your gratitude. You never know what it might elevate you to accomplish or where it can take you in your job search.

Time management is so boring...

April 2, 2025

We hate to use the word time management. For some, it evokes a dreaded sense of squinting onto a Google Calendar and dividing up hours of the day according to what ever needs to get done, as a very dry and elusive activity. In the past we've spoken about mind management being superior to time management. Why? Because your mind is what truly makes the most out of time. We've discussed the importance of fitness, health, plus specifically breaking the day down across two categories (importance vs urgency) and the intersection of each category creates a quadrant. Remember? Ok so let's get down to something that is more tactical than "time management" but certainly fits in the category. Let's call this the work to rest ratio. A method called the Pomodoro technique implements a work to rest ratio of 20-25 minutes of work with a 5 to 7 minute break. Try this. Set a timer with an alarm and get to work for 20-25 minutes. Then during the 5-7 minute break, separate your mind (and body) from work to do hydrate, go for a short walk, stretch, socialize, review something not work related, or some combination therein. Then repeat. This is a way to optimize your attention span and therefore improve your daily productivity. Go digital. Amphib-digital.
