Don't try to find your niche as a writer.

Find your 'lenses' instead.

@OfficialBHAFC United fan here. 10/10 rage bait. Well played. Should be an interesting season.

@MashreqNeo I can't DM you because you're not following me. I don't want to pay for an X upgrade just to submit a support request. Can you either follow me so I can DM or give me another way to connect? Thanks

@MashreqNeo You advertise a business account opening in 3 days or 1000 dhs. It's been 20 days since our application NX30057188 and no result. We've provided all the info required. Can't even get through to a human customer service rep. Shocking experience so far.

Normalize talking openly about your financial illiteracy as an adult.

So you can actually get help.

You don't inspire others by showing how great you are.

You inspire them by showing them how great they can be.

@ungatedcreative YES Rob! 👏

@iammarcthomas 1, 3, 2 in that order

@Ash_Ali Loved our jam session, @Ash_Ali ! You always bring such great energy and an open mind to our chats. And your team is lucky to have a leader who's committed to helping them grow.

I had a long list of activities I wanted to do on my week off.

I did about half of them, but also had 5 unexpected, awesome new experiences.

What's important isn't the specific plans you make- it's that you go into your leisure time with intentionality.

[Ali Q 🇵🇰🇸🇬🇦🇺🇬🇧🇦🇪 @AliQOfficial]

Want to know a great way to get rid of the complainers in your life?

Ask them to come up with 3 possible solutions & a recommendation for each of their problems.

The world is full of problem finders.

But it's the problem fixers keep us moving forward as a species.

[Ali Q 🇵🇰🇸🇬🇦🇺🇬🇧🇦🇪 @AliQOfficial]

Do you check work email on your time off?

It might seem like the ultimate first-world problem, but many people find 'leisure time' harder than work b/c there isn't a clear goal to accomplish.

I mean, how do you know when you've 'achieved' relaxation?

[Ali Q 🇵🇰🇸🇬🇦🇺🇬🇧🇦🇪 @AliQOfficial]

If you've struggled w/ being overly self-critical but are afraid of getting complacent if you 'cut yourself some slack', you might find this helpful:

A new mantra that's working for me is:

Do hard things. But don't be hard on yourself.

@Kolbe_Corp Stealing this!

[Ali Q 🇵🇰🇸🇬🇦🇺🇬🇧🇦🇪 @AliQOfficial]

One of the simplest ways to manage anxiety caused by overwhelm:

Break it down to what you can realistically accomplish today by doing your best.

Then just live today to the best of your ability.

That's it.

Break your life down into day-sized compartments.

Stupidly effective.

Working out 5-6 days a week now. Getting much fitter, but I'm 37 so that last bit of belly fat is hanging on like a Pakistani politician.

[Ali Q 🇵🇰🇸🇬🇦🇺🇬🇧🇦🇪 @AliQOfficial]

@dohertyjf Would you like to jump on a 30 min Zoom so I can explain how we clone your face and voice and pretend to be you on Zoom calls for a month so you can take a vacation?

That's a meeting I'd take. #jobstobedone

[Ali Q 🇵🇰🇸🇬🇦🇺🇬🇧🇦🇪 @AliQOfficial]

@realBrookNash This is great- thanks for sharing! I found #4 counter-intuitive which makes it super interesting for me. I get that we need to be flexible, but didn't you find yourself reinventing the wheel for each proposal w/o packages / templates?

[Ali Q 🇵🇰🇸🇬🇦🇺🇬🇧🇦🇪 @AliQOfficial]

When I lost my job in Mar 2020, @Ash_Ali & @StartupHasan 's book 'The Unfair Advantage' helped me rebuild my career from the ashes.

Forever grateful.

That's why helping ppl find their instinctive strengths & use them to thrive w/ @Kolbe_Corp is now one of my life's missions.

I've worked in marketing for about 15 yrs now but I'm only just starting to appreciate the value of endorsements, product placements, OOH advertising, & hard-to-measure media such as podcasts.

As Balaji said on Tim Ferriss' podcast, scripting human brains > scripting computers.
