Show Up or Step Out
•
Perhaps I’ve been watching a few too many motivational TikTok videos and blog articles. However, I feel compelled to write about the importance of showing up… at work, with your friends and family, and in life. How you show up affects how people perceive you (their impressions of you). Creating…

Day 12: Trying, Falling, and Getting Back Up
•
It’s kind of ironic that the pandemic was what got me to be so much more willing to trying new sports and outdoorsy activities. I’ve lived in Calgary for my entire life, yet never really took advantage of the great outdoors. For those of you who don’t know, Calgary is…

Why You Should Know the Pomodoro Technique for Time Management
•
Ever since my days in university, I’ve been a huge fan of the Pomodoro Technique. This technique was especially helpful during exam seasons when I had to study and focus for hours on end. These days, the technique comes second nature to me… and it keeps me productive and helps…

To the graduating class of 2021…
•
It’s already been over a year since I’ve graduated, and I was so naive to have thought that life would suddenly make sense once I got my degree. Yes, I am grateful to be where I am today, but I still feel lost about where I’m going tomorrow. I might…

Day 3: What To Do When I Feel Overwhelmed
•
It’s one of those weeks… The one where you have deadlines piling on top of each other, a dozen different people that you need to follow up with, oh, and that #100DayChallenge that you just started 🙃 Not sure what I’m talking about? If you’re a student, think “exam season”…
