It finally happened. I hit my limit this week. I made it through 230 days of relentless optimism, of trying to uncover a silver lining threaded through the past 7 months, and of convincing myself that there had to be some big meaningful reason that we are all experiencing so much loss this year. A
“And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth, ‘You owe me.’ Look what happens with a love like that. It lights up the sky.” ~Rumi I grew up believing love was conditional. My grandmother, as much as I adored her, was extremely controlling, and unless I met her high standards

Back in March, the world shifted. Travel halted. Offices shut. Businesses closed. We stopped being in the same room as each other and started only seeing each other through a screen. For Think Productive, as a Productivity Training Company delivering face to face workshops in people’s offices, it was a scary time for us. Luckily,

I hope you know how miraculous you are. Despite the unsurmountable suffering you may be facing. Regardless of how dire your circumstances appear. I believe in you. I believe in you, but I will not lie to you. Sometimes the people, jobs, and goals that keep us suffering never improve. We might never earn their
“The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” ~William James I’ll never forget the call. It was 1989 and, like most college students, I spent winter break in Florida looking for some sun. Stepping off the airplane and being greeted by a burst of warm air was the
When workers left their offices in March, there was no way of knowing that so many of us would still be working from home seven months later with no end in sight. There wasn’t a playbook for this, and so for the most part, it’s been a period of trial and error and learning as

1. Rejection can seem scary, but it’s survivable. You might think you’re the only one who’s terrified of being rejected, but so many others have the same fear. Rejection isn’t all that terrifying if you know how to cope with it, though. Don’t let your fear stop you from trying — just learn to work through your
With the number of coronavirus cases increasing every minute and our knowledge of COVID-19 expanding with each passing day, there’s one thing that has been consistent throughout this global crisis: the toll on mental wellbeing.

“Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder.” ~Henry David Thoreau Most of us are always on the lookout for a big breakthrough—a point in our life where the
We are turning 30 this year. It feels like just yesterday when we rollerbladed around the garage with Spice Girls playing in our Walkmans. We are getting old enough to become irrelevant. Still, we think we are cool because we know what Harry Potter house we belong to. This is becoming shameful, since J.K Rowling
“What I’m looking for is not out there, it is in me.” ~Helen Keller I used to think that life should be easy, and if it wasn’t easy, then I was doing it wrong. I’m older and wiser now, and I’ve learned that if it is hard, that means I am probably doing something right.
Basic information about young people who have used government services in Nunavut isn’t being tracked because of “complacency and a lack of accountability,” says the annual report from the territory’s representative for children and youth.

It’s late October. Halloween is just around the corner, and Thanksgiving will be here before you know it, and Christmas is basically in five minutes. Soon, the trees will no longer be golden and orange and red — they’ll be barren and bare. Soon, December 31 will be here, and so will a new year.

Do I need to wear a mask if I’m 6 feet (1.8 m) away from others? Health experts recommend wearing masks in public and keeping your distance from others in most cases, but whether you should do both could depend on the situation. “There’s no invisible force field at 6 feet,” said Saskia Popescu, an
You see, one day—whether that being in a couple of weeks or a few months or even years—you are going to come to the realization that happiness will never be found within your job. It will never be found in how much money you make or how big your house is or in having the
