Ever had one of those days when you just feel like something’s off? Like there’s a missing puzzle piece in your life that’s leaving you with a constant sense of dissatisfaction? Well, you’re not alone. We’ve all been there, pondering the question, “There’s gotta be more to life…” just like Stacie Orrico sang back in 2003. Dissatisfaction is a tricky thing. It creeps in without warning and leaves us scratching our heads, wondering why we’re not entirely content with our current circumstances. It’s like trying to solve a mystery without any clues. But fear not, my friend, for today we’ll dive in ..read more

Singing the Work From Home Blues

It’s okay to admit that the initial work-from-home enthusiasm has faded, ever so slightly. While we remain amazed at how society has managed to adapt so quickly to all these changes, a certain frustration has most likely crept in. What was initially a novel and exciting experience has made way for a growing feeling of restlessness. That short distance to the fridge, initially so convenient, and suddenly extremely counter-productive to those healthy lifestyle goals you set for yourself. Then we have the good ol’ conversations by the water cooler, nice to have but we’ve learned to live without t ..read more

Short Animation Sundays: Happiness and Life

If there is one thing I enjoy watching it has to be short animation movies. Besides the fact that I am beyond impressed by the creativity and work that goes into creating these, I enjoy the messages that they convey. Quite often these shorts are open-ended and can be interpreted in various ways which leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Let’s kick off this short animation series with the topic of happiness and life. I have chosen 5 of my favourite short animation movies. These five are conversation starters that I hope will leave an impression as they did on me. The Pursuit of Happiness ..read more

Did you know that over the last two years 90% of the world’s data was generated? This year alone 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are being created every year. That’s more information than we will ever be able to consume in our lifetimes! How on earth do we weed through the data and find what’s relevant? Systems! Effective filtering and retrieving systems, that is. In this information-abundant world, this can make all the difference, when you are trying to find exactly what you are looking for. It can save you time and ultimately make you that much more productive! I cannot think of one person th ..read more

Fear and The Courage To Overcome It
The Millennial State of Happiness
by mblankendal
2y ago
It’s that four-letter word that all of us know very well, fear. We can try to run from it, hide from it or ignore it. Eventually, it finds us, and when it does it latches on like a leech. Always there, eating away at us, if left unchecked. We enter this world, as babies, with only two fears. Yet, somewhere along the way, we learn to become increasingly fearful of the world around us. Partially to help us safely navigate our way through this crazy thing called life. It’s common to immediately associate fear with something negative, but fear in itself is just a self-preservation mechanism. At it ..read more

Analysis paralysis: Choices, choices…
The Millennial State of Happiness
by mblankendal

Paralysis by analysis or analysis paralysis, however you choose to say it, the effect remains the same. A complete mental freeze in your decision-making capabilities. Not exactly the infamous brain freeze that a slushee gets you but just as unpleasant, I presume. How do we go about this overload of choices? Have you ever had that feeling where you were suddenly confronted with a wave of options? A wave so vast and consuming that it rendered you simply speechless and motionless? And on top of that, you were unsure of how best to proceed. Sounds like quite the dilemma. Well, this happens more an ..read more

Focus: From Multitasking to Single-tasking
The Millennial State of Happiness
by mblankendal
2y ago
Focus, focus, just try to focus! Most of us have probably heard something along these lines before. Such a powerful skill, when applied correctly. One which we were constantly told to apply while in school. But really think back. Did you ever really learn how to focus? Because as far back as I can remember it was always something that we were told to do but never really shown how to do. Maybe something along the lines of “sit still” or “just pay attention” might cross your mind. But these are just vague commands if you really think about it. It still doesn’t really tell you what it means to re ..read more
