November rolls around, and suddenly, gratitude is trending harder than pumpkin spice lattes. Here in the U.S., Thanksgiving sets the stage for feasting, gathering, and (hopefully) counting our blessings. For a few fleeting moments, we pause to reflect on the people and things we cherish most.

But let’s face it: once the turkey’s gone and the holiday decor makes its way back into storage, (because you know, there’s Christmas) how often do we revisit that feeling of gratitude? And wouldn’t life feel richer if we kept that thankful vibe alive year-round?

Here’s the deal: gratitude isn’t just a seasonal sentiment. It’s a secret weapon for happiness, resilience, and even productivity if you let it. So, let’s dig into what gratitude is, why it matters, and—most importantly—how to put it into action without requiring you to dust off that half-empty journal you bought ten years ago. (I know, that stung…I’ve got one too.)

Stop expecting so much from your employees, your family, and yourself. It’s a waste of time and a perpetual fountain of disappointment.

Sounds ridiculous, right? But, hear me out.

I’m not suggesting you lower the bar of what you’d like to see happen in those around you. And I’m certainly not asking you to stop pushing yourself to higher and higher levels. What I am suggesting is that you consider the success rate of your past expectations and the effect they have on you and the people in your life.

Expectations are those silent setups that fill you with anticipation and hope, but ultimately result in disappointment, or at best, nothing at all. That’s a rollercoaster ride no one asked for.

As an example, if someone meets our expectations, we’re likely not to have an emotional response (because the other person did exactly what we thought they would do). And if they miss our expectations, we will be disappointed and possibly even angry, disrespected, or devalued.

That sounds like a recipe for repeated disaster and growing feelings of imposter syndrome.

So, like I said before, stop expecting so much from others. It’s a waste of time.

You’ve probably struggled at some point with the age-old enigma of time management. You’ve wrestled with the hours, but the hours always win.

You know why? You’re fighting the wrong fight.

Time management is not finding a way to manage time. It is finding a way to manage discomfort – the discomfort of maintaining focus. Not tasks, not time, but focus!

Yeah, that’s right. I said it. You are not going to squeeze more out of your day by getting every little thing blocked out on your calendar with some fancy task scheduling software or manual time-blocking calendar.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, Mr. Shortcut Man! Just two episodes ago you told me that time-blocking was the shortcut to improve my self-care routine and get more satisfaction out of my work and my life. And now you’re saying that won’t help. Are you kidding me?!”

Look, I’m not saying not to do your time-blocking routine each day. Please do. It’s important. What I am saying is that it is not the total solution to your time management woes. Time-blocking is just the start.
