At the start of this year, Hold That Thought on LinkedIn switched to monthly. If you prefer the weekly newsletters, right to your inbox, please go here.
Here is everything I shared in the Hold That Thought newsletter this past month to help you turn overthinking into expert thinking…and action!
- All four of my recently updated worksheets — Vision ? Mission ? Strategy ? Roadmap — in one handy editable PDF workbook
- “I think I’m prone to this particular kind of self-deception, where you believe there’s a shortcut or compromise that works for you and not others.” — David at Raptitude: The Shortcut is too Long
- The way is through. We know this, yet still get stuck. Here's what we can do about the 7 barriers we might encounter, from ClearerThinking.org
- The #1 cause of burnout is not what you think. A 6-minute pep talk from Liz Wiseman at the Big Think
- No, they are not mad at you. And other comforting messages from anonymous dogs
- When you're too tired to figure out what you need, go to your self-care menu — an updated page and worksheet from me
- How to show up when you're not feeling your best — I needed to revisit this one, so I thought you might too
- The Life-Changing Impact of Camel Mode from No Filter with
Mia Freedman
on YouTube
- “Looking closely is valuable at every scale. From looking closely at a sentence, a photograph, a building, a government. It scales and it cascades — one cognizant detail begets another and then another. Suddenly you’ve traveled very far from that first little: Huh.” An essay by Craig Mod
- “Before I leaned into the looseness, the moments I cherished looked quite different.” –
Calvin Rosser
and his case for being less serious
-
David Epstein
on why you should pour out lesser ideas to get great ones
- “If you want meaningful, transformative relationships with people, then you need to care about setting things up with attention to the details that matter.” – How I create great experiences, from the very start. This is my entire onboarding process, laid bare — borrow what you like to make things better for the people you serve
I invite you to get the shorter-but-better version of Hold That Thought — the weekly newsletter that helps you turn overthinking into expert thinking.
You'll see everything above, but with more context and in smaller, more digestible chunks (I send three links every Thursday).
Each week I also include at least one unthinking link…something neat or fun that is a counterpoint to all that thinking above. Such as this British seaside simulator. Or a free font that lets you create neat little patterns.
Don't miss out in June! Get the Hold That Thought newsletter to improve your thinking…and the time you spend not thinking, too.
