Let’s take a moment to celebrate this milestone— yay! (Mini victory dance in play). So, for this fiftieth edition, I thought, why not introduce a new look and feel! Below you’ll find a refreshed edition of #ANEWWITHTHEHUE.
In keeping with the theme of being more true to myself, in the moment, and what I feel like creating—I am making a new promise. Honestly, I started to feel inhibited and sometimes stuck by the categories I had created in previous editions, so I thought, why not introduce more flexibility?
Each new edition will have slightly different categories, but it’ll be packed with only the best and greatest of what truly tickled my fancy. ;) Are you excited yet?
You’ll also notice the banners have changed too—in category and style. I felt they’re more appropriate as I want these listicles to inspire action versus just fun to read, although both will be wonderful. Let me know what you think, or simply say hello! Also, welcome to you if you are new here.
According to organisational psychologist and speaker Adam Grant, challenge is necessary for ultimate mastery of your capabilities. In this conversation, Adam Grant Helps Unlocks Our Hidden Potential on A Slight Change of Plans podcast with Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist. The conversation touches on anecdotal and scientific insights on why challenge and struggle through progress over time is necessary for developing hidden potential.
On Wisdom from the Top Podcast with Guy Raz, Morten Hansen, a management theorist and scholar who was a top performer at Boston Consulting Group, discusses how to Do Less to Work Better. The claim feels counterintuitive, especially against the noise of hustle culture, but the data is unambiguous– output and productivity are more about the quality of the work than the quantity. Science proves that a life outside of work will most likely enhance the calibre of your work.
I simply cannot stop listening to Hermanos Gutiérrez! On weekdays, I write in the shower, before I go to sleep, and when I lie down to reflect on my commutes—literally all the time, every day, all day. So please, do yourself a favour and allow your ears to feast on the soothing and ethereal serene melodies. Formed in Zurich, the band is made of two Swiss-Ecuadorian brothers, Alejandro Gutiérrez and Estevan Gutiérrez. They’re due for a summer tour around the US and Europe this year, so make sure to check out their dates. In case they’re playing somewhere, you’ll be.
It’s not every day that you find a piece of history in your living room, but that’s precisely what happened to this New Yorker in the New York Times article “He Thought He Had Bought A Great Apartment. The Ceiling Held a Secret.” It makes me think about what pieces of history we are hiding in the many modern buildings and cities we inhabit today.
