Talking Body: Part I: I Have an Eating Disorder

This is the first time I am going to talk about this publicly. I will split this into a series of post so it doesn’t read too long — addressing points about binge eating, obsession with exercise, obsession with food, recovering from amenorrhea, what I learned from the battle, and the magnitude of body image issue in society.

Judging Digital Nomads

I can’t be the only one who finds these “work hard anywhere” photos in Instagram as silly and shady, can I? When I work, I look at screens. My sight and thought are completely glued there. I am focused. In flow. If I am at some place nice, then I want to enjoy the view…

Lagging and leading indicators

They say what gets measured gets managed and you can’t improve what you don’t measure. Because business is all about setting targets, creating projections, pulling some bigger imaginary numbers out of thin air for everyone to chase, just because…. why not?

Hidden Work

Hiring is a critical expensive problem every organisation must face. In an ideal world every organisations would prioritise people, hiring, and management. But we know the world is a messy place and there are trade offs to everything.

Situation: The past 3 years I have slowly developed a collection of files and notebooks filled with drafts, cues, and notes of thoughts and ideas…

Doing Hard Things Easily

this is a loosely edited brain dump. less clean, tight, and structured than my usual threshold of self-acceptance for publishing things, but I’m trying not to overthink this and just get it out there. hoping to revisit this 1) when I feel overwhelmed to regain perspective and 2) to clean it up for public consumption.…

The Shift

formulas, techniques, and howtos don’t work, but they help questions don’t answer, but they help experience don’t satisfy, but they help necessary but not sufficient of course I’m not talking about “how to properly defrost chicken in a microwave” or “how to boil perfect devilled eggs”. things that are predictable and mechanical to a large…
