My experiment for this week is to take email off my phone.
Now when I close my laptop at the end of my working day, I won't see emails until the next morning, when I start work.
This might be normal for some people, but it unpicks a 12-year habit for me.

This quote feels very relevant to me right now: it captures a lot in a few lines.
It was the need to disappoint people that most caught my attention: it connects for me with the need to hold boundaries, and accept loss and grief.

A refreshingly different take on why Boris may be the way he is. If, as I believe, leadership is partly about distributing loss, it's a very difficult role to play for someone overwhelmingly driven by a need for benign attention, being liked and loved.

I love this: we don't even really understand how rainbows work :)
This is why I enjoy close-up magic - it reminds us that there is so much about the world we don't understand, and that we can still experience wonder - like seeing a rainbow
